title: Diagnosis of an odontogenic keratocyst with computed tomography.
abstract: The CT scan aided diagnosis here of two odontogenic keratocysts in the maxillary sinus. The CT scan defines borders and provides insight into the contents of lesions and a three-dimensional view of an area of specific interest. In terms of diagnostic value, the CT scan has a definite advantage over other radiographic techniques. The treatment of maxillary odontogenic keratocysts was discussed, and the importance of postoperative observation was emphasized.
