Post-operative maxillary cyst associated with a maxillary sinus elevation procedure: a case report.
Proper diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical manipulation of the posterior maxilla require a thorough knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology associated with the maxillary sinus. This case report of a post-operative maxillary cyst diagnosed following routine post-operative examination of a sinus elevation procedure illustrates the need for a meticulous surgical technique, proper management of complications, and routine, long-term follow-up. With the increased utilization of sinus elevation techniques, reports of this destructive lesion may become more common.
