Introduction. Antrochoanal polyp is a benign tumor of the maxillary sinus mucosa passing through the sinus ostium into the nasal cavity. Nasal obstruction is the most common symptom in all patients. Case Report. The authors present a case of a 28-year old female who was admitted to hospital with breathing difficulty, unilateral nasal secretion, headache and deformity of the nasal pyramid. Computerized tomography examination of the nose and paranasal sinuses indicated a possibility of giant antrochoanal polyp. The antrochoanal polyp was extirpated completely using forceps, under general endotracheal anesthesia. The length of the giant polyp was 16 cm. A follow-up examination of the nose and the right maxillary sinus was performed using a rigid endoscope, but no remains of the polyp were found. Conclusion. The authors believe that this is probably the first or a very rare published case of complete extirpation of a giant antrochoanal polyp of this size.

Antrochoanal polyps are unilateral benign lesions that arise within the maxillary sinus antrum. The purpose of this study was to review the clinical characteristics and treatment of antrochoanal polyp (ACP). A retrospective analysis was performed to investigate the case of one patient with an extremely rare bilateral polyp with a high incidence of recurrence. ACPs account for approximately one-third of polyps occurring in children. Most of them are unilateral. The recurrent course of ACP is more prevalent in the paediatric population than in adults. ACPs require differential diagnosis with malignancies. The mainstay of treatment is surgery. The gold standard is endoscopic sinus surgery with complete removal of polyp mass under endoscopic control and widening of the maxillary sinus ostium via the middle meatus. Postoperative follow-up of at least 2 years is very important to monitor patients for recurrence.

The endoscopic surgical technique for the removal of antrochoanal polyps is a safe and effective method with minimal morbidity. We present our results in 14 patients treated with this approach. The follow-up time ranged from 3 months to 3 years with an average of 2 years. All patients are symptom free with normal appearing maxillary sinus mucosa on office endoscopy. Only two patients required a Caldwell-Luc procedure. There were no complications in our series. We recommended the endoscopic surgical technique for the management of the antrochoanal polyp.

Displaced dental implants into the maxillary sinus are relatively rare. Treatment consists of implant surgical removal. Objective: To present two case reports of the removal of implants displaced into maxillary sinus by a conservative technique. Case report: Report 1: A 44-year-old female sought for treatment complaining about headaches and recurrent sinusitis. In the anamnesis she reported she had been undergone placement of nine maxillary implants, fifteen years ago, with total loss of those elements. At the imaging exams it was possible to observe two displaced implants into the bilateral maxillary sinus, besides radiopaque image on the left maxillary sinus, compatible with maxillary sinusitis. Based on this data, the proposed treatment plan was the removal of the displaced implants through Caldwell Luc approach and sinusotomy in the left side, under general anesthesia. The patient has a follow-up of 6 months without complaints. Report 2: A 42-year-old male was referred to the Surgery and Maxillofacial Traumatology Department for implant removal from the right maxillary sinus. Patient underwent implant installation in the area around 9 months ago. In the computarized tomography it was possible to diagnose the implant migration into the right maxillary sinus. the proposed treatment plan was the removal of the displaced implant via Caldwell Luc Access by repositioning the bony window and sinusotomy. Results: Patient has been with no complaints at 30 days after surgery. Conclusion: The technique has been shown to be effective in treating the condition.

Abstract Background There has been a rapid rise in the number of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital mucormycosis (CAROM) cases especially in South Asian countries, to an extent that it has been considered an epidemic among the COVID-19 patients in India. As of May 13, 2021, 101 CAROM cases have been reported, of which 82 cases were from India and 19 from the rest of the world. On the other hand, pulmonary mucormycosis associated with COVID-19 has a much lesser reported incidence of only 7% of the total COVID-19-associated mucormycosis cases (Singh AK, Singh R, Joshi SR, Misra A, Diab Metab Syndr: Clin Res Rev, 2021). This case report attempts to familiarize the health care professionals and radiologists with the imaging findings that should alarm for follow-up and treatment in the lines of CAROM. Case presentation Rhino-orbital mucormycosis (ROM) is a manifestation of mucormycosis that is thought to be acquired by inhalation of fungal spores into the paranasal sinuses. Here, we describe a 55-year-old male, post COVID-19 status with long standing diabetes who received steroids and ventilator therapy for the management of the viral infection. Post discharge from the COVID-19 isolation ICU, the patient complained of grayish discharge from the right nostril and was readmitted to the hospital for the nasal discharge. After thorough radiological and pathological investigation, the patient was diagnosed with CAROM and managed. Conclusion Uncontrolled diabetes and imprudent use of steroids are both contributing factors in the increased number of CAROM cases. Our report emphasizes on the radiological aspect of CAROM and reinforces the importance of follow-up imaging in post COVID-19 infection cases with a strong suspicion of opportunistic infections.

We describe a case of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome (UZS) in a healthy 56-year-old woman who underwent femtosecond-assisted phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. One month after an uneventful postoperative course in the left eye, the right eye was operated. Dilated pupil which was nonreactive to light appeared on day 21 postoperatively. This was discovered upon examination following anterior chamber inflammatory reaction which occurred 2 weeks following her surgery. Our case report emphasizes the importance and danger in developing UZS even if the reaction in the anterior chamber does not occur immediately after surgery. In addition, the importance of intraocular pressure follow-up in the period after UZS is acknowledged.

Invasive aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses is a rare and often misdiagnosed disease. This study reported a case of max- illary aspergillosis with a complete  headache and eye pain after tooth extraction with a large abscess in the relative jaw. Tenderness in the right temporal, lower jaw numbness and right eye proptosis was found. Histopathological examination was the suggestion of maxillary sinusitis with a fungal ball of aspergillus.

Introduction. Myxoma is the most common primary benign heart tumor. The most frequent location is the left atrium, the chamber of the heart that receives oxygen- rich blood from the lungs. Myxomas usually develop in women, typically between the ages of 40 and 60. Symptoms may occur at any time, but most often they are asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic for a long period of time. Symptoms usually go along with body position, and are related to compression of the heart cavities, embolization and the appearance of general symptoms. The diagnosis of benign tumors of the heart is based on anamnesis, clinical features and findings of the tumor masses by use of non-invasive and invasive imaging methods. Extensive surgical resection of the myxoma is curative with minimal mortality. Long term clinical and echocardiographic follow-up is mandatory. Case report. We reported a case of a 62-year-old male, presented with 15 days of intermittent shortness of breath, dizziness and feeling of heart palpitations and subsequently diagnosed with right atrial myxoma based on transthoracic echocardiography . The patient was emergently operated in our hospital. Long-term followup did not reveal recurrence. Conclusion. Our case was an atypical localisation of right atrial myxoma. Whether the intracardiac mass is benign or malignant, early surgery is obligatory in order to prevent complications.
