THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT CYSTS OF MAXILLARY SINUS

Abstract

Maxillary sinus cysts are distinguished by the fact that they are a common form of chronic sinusitis. From a clinical point of view, cysts are asymptomatic and in 80% of cases they are a finding on X-ray examination. The origin of cysts is usually associated with a chronic inflammatory process. They are formed as a result of exudation of secretory glands due to inflammation of the mucous membrane. The results of clinical, laboratory and immunological examination of patients with cystic lesions of the upper jaw presented in the literature indicate the general mechanism of the pathogenesis of the disease and the involvement of cellular immunity at the level of the mucous membrane. nasal cavity, as well as immunopathological mechanisms manifested by bacterial sensitization. The main complaint of patients with cysts of the maxillary sinuses is a periodically occurring dull headache, which is observed in the forehead or on the side of the maxillary sinus where the cyst is mainly located. In very rare cases, patients complain of pain in the neck, head, temples, and a feeling of heaviness in the head. Modern medical technologies make it possible to treat chronic sinusitis with minimal tissue damage. Thus, endoscopic removal of a cyst in the maxillary cavity is an effective and acceptable method of surgical treatment of this disease, which involves complete removal of the cyst shell, non-injury to the mucous membrane of the cavity, and allows for a correct assessment of the condition of the mucous membrane and sinus anastomosis.
