CLINICAL CASE OF ODONTOGENIC MAXILLARY SINUSITIS

Abstract

Aim - to show the clinical observation of the development of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis in case of entering the sinus of the root of the tooth. Materials and methods. The results of the study - video endoscopy of the nasal cavity and CT of the paranasal sinuses - were evaluated. The obtained data pointed to the foreign body that caused not only an inflammatory process with subsequent development of the mycetoma, but also destruction of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, the inferior nasal concha. Access to the maxillary sinus was discussed, and surgical intervention was performed. Conclusions. The root of the tooth was extracted through the developed defect of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus communicating with the lower nasal passage.
