Abstract

CHARRO-HUERGA, E.; FERRERAS GRANADO, J.; VAZQUEZ MAHIA, I.  and  LOPEZ-CEDRUN, J.L.. Post-traumatic mucocele of the maxillary sinus. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.1, pp.51-55. ISSN 2173-9161.

Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are benign lesions but they can be destructive because they cause bone resorption. The location in a maxillary sinus and a traumatic origin are uncommon. We report a case of mucocele of the maxillary sinus 28 years after facial trauma. We analyzed the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of this type of lesions.

Keywords : Mucocele; Maxillary sinus; Post-trauma.
