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 ...
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.
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.
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.
Mucous retention cyst in maxillary sinus indicated by the asymmetrical blue lump to the right of the nose The most common location to find a mucocele is the inner surface of the lower lip. It can also be found on the inner side of the cheek (known as the buccal mucosa ), on the anterior ventral tongue , and the floor of the mouth .

A pseudocyst is a cystic lesion that may appear as a cyst on scans, but lacks epithelial or endothelial cells. [4] An acute pancreatic pseudocyst is made of pancreatic fluids with a wall of fibrous tissue or granulation. [citation needed] Pseudocysts may form in a number of places, including the pancreas, abdomen, adrenal gland, and eye.
Nasal surgery is a specialty including the removal of nasal obstruction that cannot be achieved by medication and nasal reconstruction. Currently, it comprises four approaches, namely rhinoplasty, septoplasty, sinus surgery, and turbinoplasty, targeted at different sections of the nasal cavity in the order of their external to internal positions.
