  • Frontal mucocele caused by an ectopic maxillary tooth

  • M A Buchanan, S E Prince, P R Prinsley
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 122 / Issue 12 / December 2008
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • Objective:

    To present a previously unreported cause of frontal mucocele.

    Case report:

    A patient presented with a frontal mucocele and maxillary sinusitis. Computed tomography revealed an ectopic maxillary tooth as the cause of her signs and symptoms. Removal of the tooth by a Caldwell–Luc procedure facilitated resolution of the mucocele. Conventional treatment of mucoceles by endoscopic sinus surgery, and other rhinological sequelae of ectopic teeth, are considered.

    Conclusion:

    This is the first documented case of an ectopic tooth causing a frontal mucocele, and demonstrates how effectively the patient's symptoms resolved on removal of the tooth.
