Surgical ciliated cyst of the maxilla is a rare complication following surgical procedures or trauma involving the maxillary sinus. It can occur at any time after any procedures or trauma involving the maxillary sinus even though many years have lapsed. Clinically it may mimic other cysts of the maxillary sinus therefore a thorough history taking is necessary for diagnosis. Treatment is usually by enucleation or marsupialisation. This report highlighted a case of surgical ciliated cyst involving the right maxillary sinus probably secondary to maxillary sinus procedures, which were performed 30 years prior to presentation.

The fungal ball usually occurs in a single sinus, most frequently in the maxillary sinus, and multiple sinus localization has rarely been reported? Recently, the authors experienced a rare case of multiple fungal balls involving three sinuses that were not contiguous, the bilateral maxillary sinuses and right sphenoid sinus. The patient had a history of endodontic treatment. We report this rare case with a literature review.

It is important that the surgeons expect difference in the volume of the maxillary sinus during endoscopic surgery because a variation in volume of the maxillary sinus is related to a variation in anatomical landmarks. Forty four Korean skulls (88 sinuses, 23 M/21F) were used in this study. Anatomical landmarks around the maxillary sinus were measured. The significant variables (r.0.03, P.0.05) out of measured variables were pick out by use of SPSS-13.0 program. The regression equation models were developed by multiple regression analysis. The volume of maxillary sinus showed a high correlation with 19 variables included the width, height, depth of the maxillary sinus, depth on C-arm radiography, length of three borders of maxillary sinus, distance between the lowest point of orbit and the deepest point of maxillary sinus, distance between the deepest point of maxillary sinus and the porion, width of orbit, measured values from akanthion. The regression equation model for prediction of the volume of the maxillary sinus was volume=0.692?(the anteroposterior length of the maxillary sinus)+0.355?(the height of the maxillary sinus)-22.178. This study ascertained variables of a high correlation with volume of the maxillary sinus and would be useful to develop the regression model for prediction of volume of the maxillary sinus.
