Postoperative cheek cysts have been considered as a complication of Caldwell-Luc´s operation. The Caldwell-Luc´s operation is one of the most common operating procedures of the chronic maxillary sinusitis in Korea. Therefore, there are many reports of postoperative cheek cyst.
We have treated 38 cases (41 sides) of the postoperative cheek cyst during 18 years from 1969 to 1987.
Clinical study about postoperative cheek cyst was performed by the analysis of such clinical data as age, sex, affected side, chief complaints, duration after the initial operation, age at the initial operation, physical signs and operative findings.
The following results were noted.
1) Postoperative cheek cyst is predominant in male and age of 4th decade.
2) Affected side; There are 12 cases (31.6%) in right side, 23 cases (60.5%) in left side, and 3 cases in both sides.
3) Age of initial operation is distributed from 14 to 48 years old. Duration after the initial operation is ranged from 5 years to 37 years.
4) Chief compliant are cheek pain (70.7%), cheek swelling (39.0%), toothache (17.1%), cheek & discomfort (12.2%), headache (7.3%) and etc.
5) Operative findings; Single cystic lesion is observed in 23 sides (69.7%), bone destruction in 11 sides (24.4%).
