title: Surgical ciliated cyst of the medial canthal region after the management of a midfacial fracture: a case report.
abstract: Surgical ciliated cysts are an uncommon complication of maxillary surgery. We report a case of such a cyst that developed at the right medial canthal region 10 years after the surgical treatment of a severe midfacial fracture. The cyst presented as a round cystic lesion protruding through a small bony defect. The lesion was completely excised, and histologic result showed a pseudostratified ciliated epithelial lining.
