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.
