Pólipos bucales como complicación de una fractura de la tuberosidad / Oral polyps as a complication of a tuberosity fracture

Introducción: la importancia de los senos maxilares se vuelve más clara cuando se entiende que los dientes son responsables del 10 al 12 por ciento de las sinusitis maxilares. Objetivo: caracterizar un caso de pólipos bucales como complicación de una fractura de la tuberosidad. Presentación del caso: se valora una paciente femenina de 62 años que refiere tener una bolita en la boca desde hace 3 semanas, que le ha ido en aumento. Al examen físico bucal encontramos un aumento de volumen en la región posterior maxilar izquierda. Al profundizar en el interrogatorio la paciente refiere que le realizaron una extracción de un molar en el área del aumento de volumen 6 meses atrás, que salió con un fragmento de hueso y que sentía que se le salía el aire, por lo que le suturaron en ese momento. Indicamos medios auxiliares de diagnóstico. Se llegó al diagnóstico de que se trataba el aumento de volumen de pólipos sinusales en una fístula bucoantral como complicación de una fractura de la tuberosidad antigua. Se decidió realizar tratamiento mediante la indicación de antimicrobiano, gotas nasales, inhalaciones, y la realización una técnica de Caldwell Luc, con eliminación de los pólipos presentes, más fistulectomía y cierre mediante colgajo vestibular deslizante. Se tomó muestra para biopsia que informó la presencia de una sinusitis crónica polipoide. Conclusiones: la cirugía bucal es de imprescindible conocimiento para todos los profesionales de la rama estomatológica. El caso presentado de pólipos bucales en una fístula bucoantral como complicación de una fractura de la tuberosidad, de infrecuente presentación en la clínica, contribuye a resaltar la importancia de realizar un correcto interrogatorio para determinar las herramientas diagnósticas y terapéuticas a emplear(AU)

Introduction: the importance of the maxillary sinuses becomes clearer when it is understood that the teeth are responsible for 10 to 12 percent of the cases of maxillary sinusitis. Objective: present a case of oral polyps as a complication of a tuberosity fracture. Case presentation: a 62-year-old female patient attends consultation with a lump in her mouth which she has had for three weeks, during which time it has grown larger. Physical examination reveals a growth in the left posterior maxillary region. During interrogation the patient explained that six months before she was removed a molar from the area of increased volume. The molar had come out with a bone fragment, and she had felt air escaping through the opening, so they sutured right away. We indicated auxiliary diagnostic means. Diagnosis was an increase in the volume of paranasal polyps in an oroantral fistula as a complication of a fracture of the former tuberosity. The treatment indicated was an antimicrobial, nose drops, vaporizations, and performance of a Caldwell Luc technique with removal of the polyps, plus fistulectomy and closure by sliding vestibular flap. A sample was taken for biopsy, which revealed the presence of chronic polypoid sinusitis. Conclusions: training in oral surgery is essential for all dental professionals. The case presented of oral polyps in an oroantral fistula as a complication of a tuberosity fracture, of infrequent clinical presentation, contributes to highlight the importance of proper interrogation to determine the diagnostic and therapeutic tools to be used(AU)

Facial fractures caused by less-lethal rubber bullet weapons: case series report and literature review.

PURPOSE: The present study aims to describe three cases of patients inflicted by rubber bullets with severe facial fractures. METHODS: In addition, a review of English-language literature involving facial fractures by rubber bullets from 1975 to 2016 was performed. RESULTS: This current study demonstrated that the use of the LLRBW is unsafety even when applied by police enforcements exclusively. CONCLUSIONS: Management of facial fractures caused by LLRBW is done in a usual manner with closed or open reduction associated with bone mini-plates or reconstruction plates when indicated. Special initial wound care should be done to avoid secondary infection and additional procedures.

Isolated bilateral blowout fracture with extensive pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses.

The blowout fracture injuries are often associated with fractures of the zygomatic complex and other facial structures but can also occur in an isolated fashion. Isolated bilateral blowout fractures are uncommon and constitute a challenge with regard to both assessment and reconstruction. This article describes an uncommon case of isolated bilateral blowout fracture in a patient with extensive pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses.

Intrusión de implante dental en el seno maxilar. Complicaciones y tratamiento: presentación de un caso clínico / Dental implant migration to maxillary sinus. Complications and treatment: a case report

Objetivo: exponer, de manera ilustrativa, los fundamentos de la secuencia de la extracción de un implante dental de la cavidad del seno. Se presentó un caso de intrusión de implante dental que producía sinusitis crónica odontogénica, ante la cual se efectuó como tratamiento de primera una terapia antibacteriana sistémica y local, seguida de la extracción del implante. Conclusión: la intrusión o movimiento de los implantes dentales en el seno maxilar constituye una complicación frecuente característica de los pacientes que han sido sometidos a implantes en el maxilar posterior, donde la calidad y cantidad de hueso remanente es insuficiente para su correcta colocación. Por lo tanto, se recomienda realizar una evaluación adecuada del tejido óseo, del tipo de implante y de la técnica quirúrgica utilizada. Una de las causas más frecuentes de la intrusión del implante dental en el seno maxilar es la falta de anclaje primario adecuado.(AU)

Jael syndrome: removal of a knife blade impacted in the maxillofacial region under local anaesthesia.

The presence of retained foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region as a consequence of penetrating injuries from knives is poorly documented in the scientific literature. This manuscript reports the case of a 30-year-old Caucasian with a knife blade lodged in the maxillofacial skeleton. Following clinical and radiographic exams, it was determined that the object had penetrated through the left nostril and nasal septum, in the direction of the right maxillary sinus, and remained impacted without causing injury to important anatomical structures. After systemic assessment and determination of the exact location of the knife blade, the object was removed in an outpatient setting under local anaesthesia. This manuscript aims to report a rare case of a transfacial penetrating injury involving a knife blade that was removed in an outpatient setting while also discussing the proper conduct and treatment options for similar cases in the context of a brief literature review.

Ocular reconstruction after zygomatic complex fracture with retention of a foreign body.

Facial injuries with the retention of foreign bodies inside the tissues, both in soft and hard ones, can cause major functional and aesthetic damage. Among the different etiological agents, cutting tools, fragments of a firearm, the splinter of wood, steel, or iron, launched by misuse, or even caused by defects in equipment, are the main cause of these injuries. The aim of this study was to discuss the peculiarity of the multidisciplinary approach in caring of a 33-year-old man, victim of an accident at work, by the rupture of an emery disc and consequent penetration of the fragments in violation of the tissues in the orbital and zygomatic region of the left side, with perforation of the eyeball and orbital-zygomatic fracture. Urgent treatment consisted of debridement of wounds, bleeding control, removal of foreign bodies, fracture reduction with rigid internal fixation, and suture, performed by the oral and maxillofacial surgical team. Reconstruction of orbital tissues by the ophthalmology team consisted of suture of the injuries. About 1 month after the trauma, phthisis bulbi was noted, and the patient underwent a new procedure under general anesthesia for eye evisceration and installation of an alloplastic prosthesis associated with the homogenous sclera. Facial harmony was restored, especially in aesthetics and function of the zygomatic-orbital complex.

Sinusite odontogênica por iatrogenia com cinco anos de evolução / Odontogenic sinusitis due to iatrogenic with five years of evolution

Sempre que um procedimento odontológico, seja este cirúrgico ou não, for realizado no arco superior, deve-se considerar a relação anatômica do seio maxilar com as raízes dentárias, pois a penetração acidental dessas raízes ou de dentes no seio maxilar poderá ocorrer. Isto normalmente é resultado de falha no diagnóstico e uso de manobras cirúrgicas intempestivas. Caso esse material não seja removido e a comunicação tratada, o paciente poderá ter complicações como uma sinusite crônica. É relatado um caso de sinusite odontogênica crônica causada por deslocamento de fragmento dentário no seio maxilar com diagnóstico e tratamento adequado apenas após cinco anos da realização da extração que deu origem à sinusite.

When a dental procedure, surgical or not, is conducted in the upper jaw, one must consider the anatomical relationship of the maxillary sinus with teeth roots, because the accidental penetration of them or of teeth in the maxillary sinus may occur. This usually results from failure to diagnose and untimely use of surgical maneuvers. If such body is not removed and the communication is not treated, the patient may have complications such as chronic sinusitis. A case of chronic odontogenic sinusitis caused by dislocation of dental fragment into the maxillary sinus diagnosed only after five years of the extraction realization and its treatment is reported.

Luxação traumática do bulbo ocular causada por acidente doméstico / Traumatic eyeball luxation caused by domestic accident

A luxação do bulbo ocular ocorre quando há seu deslocamento anterior, de tal forma que as pálpebras se fecham espasmodicamente por detrás dele. Diversas causas não traumáticas são relatadas, sendo que, quando provocado por traumas contusos, com grande envolvimento do nervo óptico e da musculatura extrínseca ocular, o prognóstico em geral é desfavorável. Apresentamos um dramático caso de luxação do bulbo ocular em criança após acidente doméstico, destacando seu mecanismo fisiopatológico e apreciando as condutas.

The eyeball luxation is a dramatic phenomenon in which there is a forward displacement of the eyeball so that the eyelids spasmodically close behind it. There are many risk factors, non-related to trauma, but orbital contusions with optic nerve and extraocular muscles involvement carry the worst prognosis. The present paper reports a dramatic domestic case of globe luxation in childhood, its pathophysiology mechanisms and management.

Tratamento das perfurações amplas da membrana em cirurgias de levantamento de seio maxilar - Descrição da técnica e apresentação de caso clínico / Treatment of the ample perforations of the membrane in sinus lift - Discretion of the technique and case report

As perfurações da membrana sinusal são a principal intercorrência da técnica do levantamento de seio maxilar. Perfurações de pequeno e médio porte são facilmente tratadas. Perfurações grandes impossibilitam a enxertia num primeiro momento e dificultam uma segunda intervenção. Os autores descrevem uma técnica para tratamento de perfurações grandes da membrana numa segunda intervenção.

Blindness after Le Fort I osteotomy: a possible complication associated with pterygomaxillary separation.

INTRODUCTION: Visual loss after Le Fort I osteotomy is a devastating complication the mechanism of which is not always clear. METHODS: A case report of blindness following Le Fort I osteotomy is presented. The literature on the various skull base complications associated with Le Fort I osteotomies is reviewed and the mechanisms of these complications discussed. CONCLUSION: The radiological findings in this case are similar to those previously reported. They strongly support the hypothesis that an adverse transmission of forces associated with pterygomaxillary separation via the sphenoid bone to the intra- and extracranial portions of the skull base is the main reason for injury to the optic and other cranial nerves as well as to the branches of the carotid artery.

The use of oxidized regenerated cellulose (surgicel) in closing Schneiderian membrane tears during the sinus lift procedure / El uso de celulosa oxidada regenerada (Surgicel®) para cerrar las roturas de la membrana de Schneider durante el procedimiento quirúrgico del levantamiento del seno

During the sinus lift procedure, undesirable perforations of the Schneiderian membrane can occur in up to 58of cases. Several methods for their closing exist. This article presents a method of covering the perforation with a strip of oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel). One or two layers of material swell after being saturated with blood, turning into a gelatinous mass and forming a tight and mechanically resistant seal. This simple method has been successfully tested on 223 perforations of the Schneiderian membrane that occurred over a period of 58 months.

Durante el procedimiento quirúrgico del levantamiento del seno, pueden producirse perforaciones indeseables de la membrana sinusal, hasta en el 58% de los casos. Existen varios métodos de cierre. Este artículo presenta un método para cubrir la perforación con una lámina de celulosa oxidada regenerada (Surgicel®). Una o dos capas del material se hinchan luego de ser saturadas con sangre, transformándose en una masa gelatinosa, y formando así un sello consistente y mecánicamente resistente. Este método simple ha sido probado con éxito en 223 perforaciones de la membrana de Schneider ocurridas en un período de 58 meses.

Traumatic subcutaneous emphysema of the face associated with paranasal sinus fractures: a prospective study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this report was to review and analyze the epidemiologic features of traumatic subcutaneous emphysema (TSE) originating from frontal, nasoethmoidal, and maxillary facial injuries with sinusal involvement in the emergency room setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients with a fracture involving the paranasal sinuses were evaluated with regard to TSE occurrence. Data analysis extended to gender, age, etiology, fracture sites, TSE location, sinus involvement, treatment, and complications from April 1999 to December 2003. Evaluation methods included computed tomography scan and clinical evaluation. RESULTS: A total of 390 patients sustaining 458 paranasal sinus fractures were included. TSE was observed in 29 patients (7.43%) patients (male-female ratio of 3.83:1, with a mean age of 36.71 +/- 15.71 years). The main etiologies were vehicle accidents and assaults. Isolated maxillary sinuses fractures were found in 17 cases (58.62%). Ethmoidal and maxillary fractures were associated with 9 cases (31.03%), and 1 (3.45%) case had maxillary and frontal fractures together. Ethmoidal, maxillary, and frontal fractures were found concomitantly in 2 (6.90%) cases. Periorbital emphysema was the most prevalent site of presentation, and edema (86.21%) and bone deformities (79.31%) were the most frequent findings associated with TSE. Conservative treatment was the prevalent treatment choice (55.17%), and 1 complication because of persistent pain was noted. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that TSE of the face associated with paranasal sinus fractures maintained the clinical features of its fractures of origin. The ethmoidal sinuses were considered as the most prevalent etiologic site, and the periorbital region was responsible for addressing the higher incidence of SE following paranasal sinus fractures.

As fístulas buco sinusais são complicações geralmente relacionadas com as exodontias dos dentes superiores posteriores, devido à proximidade existente entre os ápices desses elementos dentais e o assoalho do seio maxilar. O presente trabalho objetiva, com base em berve revisão da literatura e na experiência dos autores, mostrar as vantagens e desvantagens da utilização do corpo adiposo da bochecha para o selamento das fístulas oroantrais e apresentar um caso clínico incomum de um paciente portador de fístula buco sinusal bilateral que se submeteu a essa modalidade de tratamento.

Estudo tridimencional de imagens císticas dos seios maxilares, por meio da ressonância magnética, numa amostra populacional da cidade de Salvador / Tridimensional survey of cystic images in maxillary sinuses throug magnetic resonance in a sample population from the city of Salvador

Através das imagens por ressonância magnética, seqüências T1 (coronal e axial) e T2 (coronal e axial), foram observados 512 pacientes de ambos os sexos com o objetivo de se avaliar a ocorrência de imagens císticas sinusais (cistos/pólipos) no que diz respeito a prevalência, distribuição por sexo, faixa etária, localização, distribuição por lado, tipo de ocorrência e sazonalidade. A prevalência encontrada foi de 13,1%, e não foi observada diferença estatisticamente significante na distribuição da ocorrência entre os sexos, faixas etárias ou meses do ano. As lesões localizavam-se preferencialmente no assoalho da cavidade sinusal (estatisticamente significante), não havendo, contudo, predileção por lado. A ocorrência unilateral revelou-se mais freqüente (estatisticamente significante), embora não apresentasse diferença na distribuição entre os sexos. A ocorrência tipo simples também apareceu com maior freqüência (estatisticamente significante), não mostrando, entretando, predileção por lado ou sexo
