Maxillary rhinosinusitis and oroantral fistula
Abstract
We report a case of an oroantral fistula and maxillary rhinosinusitis, that was resolved by combined approach, in which palatal mucosa flap and vomer bone was used for its closure. We describe the case of a female patient of 66 years old, who consulted for having cacosmia, left facial pain and purulent rhinorrhea, after left second molar extraction. CT- scan sinus showed the total left maxillary sinus, partial left ethmoid opacity and bone defect in left alveolar ridge. A vomer bone graft was taken from the nasal septum; left maxillary sinus surgery was done by endoscopic approach and intraoral closure of bony and mucosa fistula was concluded.
