Clinical Approach to Dental Root Canal Filler-Induced Maxillary Sinus Fungal Mass Using Transnasal Endoscopy.
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery 2024 May 2
Accidentally extruded root canal filler within the sinuses may induce maxillary sinusitis with fungal mass. The authors describe 2 cases of gutta-percha-induced fungal masses in the left maxillary sinus of 2 women. The lesions were evaluated preoperatively using both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, providing comprehensive insights into the condition. In one patient, the lesion was located such that it could be resected through the middle meatal antrostomy alone. However, the second patient presented with an anteroinferiorly situated lesion that necessitated not only a transnasal approach but also an endoscopic modified medial maxillectomy. Both patients recovered uneventfully after surgery. This case series is the first published report of 2 cases of gutta-percha-induced maxillary sinus fungal masses, with their imaging findings, successfully treated through different routes through transnasal endoscopic surgery. These reports highlight the need for a collaborative approach between dental practitioners and otolaryngologists. In addition to the patient's wishes, surgical interventions must consider the unique characteristics of each case and the potential for collaboration across different medical specialties.
