Abstract
|
|
|
|
Post-operative maxillary cysts are locally aggressive lesions that typically develop as delayed complications many years after a Caldwell-Luc operation. This report describes a case of post-operative maxillary cysts following a LeFort I osteotomy performed approximately 7 years ago. The patient complained of stinging pain on her left cheek. Radiographic examination revealed a radiolucency lesion on the left maxillary sinus with a well-defined margin and bone destruction. The cysts were enucleated with the removal of metal plates and screws for pain relief. A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of post-operative maxillary cysts. The patient has remained asymptomatic thus far, and there was no evidence of local recurrence at the 3-year postoperative follow-up.
