Cause

Cause of nasal cyst

First, according to the reasons for its occurrence can be divided into congenital blindness abnormalities, glands can not be secreted due to glandular obstruction and retention and inflammatory infection factors and so on.

Second, according to the location can be divided into various facial fissures that occur in the nasal wall or nasal soft tissue, such as the nasal dorsal line-like cyst and nasal vestibular cyst; the odontogenic cyst that occurs in the upper collar and occurs in Nasal cysts in nasal congestion such as mucosal cysts, mucinous cysts, and the like.

Nasal cysts are thought to be formed by the accumulation of sinus secretions after the natural opening of the sinus is completely blocked. Nasal cysts grow slowly, and are still confined to the sinus cavity for decades. However, the enlarged cyst can compress the sinus bone wall to become thin or disappear, and the giant one invades the sacral and intracranial.

Prevention

2, early detection, detection, treatment of sick teeth, can prevent the occurrence of odontogenic cysts.

3, the disease is completely removed by intranasal or extranasal approach cysts, establish sinus nasal cavity drainage. The odontogenic person still needs to remove the sick tooth.

Complication

Nasal cyst complications Complications

1, the larger one may have the same side nasal cavity blocked, the nose or upper lip swell.

2. The attachment of one side of the nose is raised and touches the elastic and soft mass.

3, combined infection, nasal cysts rapidly increase, local pain is also a hazard of nasal vestibular cyst.

4, the eye showed cysts invaded by the sputum. Cause eyeball shift, tearing, diplopia, visual impairment and so on.

5, concurrent infection can be general malaise, fever, headache, local redness, swelling, pain.

Symptom

Nasal cyst symptoms Common symptoms Eye pain, frontal sinus cyst eyeball shift

1. External deformity: the sinus surface is swollen, touching the skin under the skin and feeling like a table tennis.

2, eye symptoms: eye pain, diplopia, tears, eye movements.

3, nasal examination: the outer wall of the nasal cavity shifts to the midline.

4, there are dead teeth or rickets, occur in the lateral incisors. Missing teeth or dysplastic deciduous teeth.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis and identification of nasal cysts

2, eye pain, double vision, tears, eye movements.

3. The outer side wall of the nasal cavity is displaced to the midline.

4, there are dead teeth or dental caries occur in the lateral incisors, missing teeth or dysplastic deciduous teeth.

5, the sinus through the sputum to extract mucus or sticky pus.

6, X-ray film see mucus cyst sinus cavity enlargement, sinus wall thin or disappear, cyst shadow edge smooth, uniform density. Mucosal cysts have a semi-circular shadow with a clear boundary in the maxillary sinus. The sinus of the odontogenic cyst contains tooth or root resorption and capsular shadow.
