The commonest cyst arising from lateral wall is the nasopharyngeal branchial cyst, whereas the mucus retention cysts are the commonest to arise from the midline. [1] Sometimes nasopharyngeal cyst may directly refer to Tornwaldt cyst. [2] It arises from the midline and lies deep to the pharyngobasilar fascia which helps to distinguish it from a ...
A CT scan shows a solid mass of Tornwaldt's cyst and MRI shows a glass-shaped lesion with fluid on the upper part of the posterior nasopharyngeal wall. Additionally, a cystic mass in the upper part of the nasopharyngeal wall and mucopurulent discharge from upper part of the mass can be seen on nasal endoscopy. Among them MRI is the best for ...
A Tornwaldt cyst (also spelt as Thornwaldt or Thornwald [1]) is a benign cyst located in the upper posterior nasopharynx. It was first described by Gustav Ludwig Tornwaldt. It can be seen on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head as a well-circumscribed round mass lying in the midline. In most cases, treatment ...
A Deviated Nasal Septum And Mucous Retention Cyst. In my sinuses and mastoids, I had two minor findings. ... which is a benign growth filled with blood and blood vessels, in the T10 vertebrae of ...
The sinuses are like “little rooms” in the skull, says Goudy, which are hollow and filled with air. “The thought is that you have sinuses or these pockets within the bone that allow your ...
There are three types of laryngeal cysts, namely, mucous, hemorrhagic and congenital. [6] However, a new classification system for congenital laryngeal cysts on the basis of the extent of the cyst and the embryologic tissue of origin, is proposed for the ease of initial surgical management.
Caldwell-Luc surgery, Caldwell-Luc operation, also known as Caldwell-Luc antrostomy, and Radical antrostomy, is an operation to remove irreversibly damaged mucosa of the maxillary sinus. It is done when maxillary sinusitis is not cured by medication or other non-invasive technique. The approach is mainly from the anterior wall of the maxilla bone.
The treatment is surgical excision. On histologic examination, the wall of the cyst includes thymic tissue, and may include parathyroid gland tissue because of the parathyroid gland's common embryonic origin with the thymus gland in the third pharyngeal pouch. Fewer than 100 cases of cervical thymic cysts have been reported in the medical ...
