Abstract

Post-operative maxillary cyst may arise after the surgical intervention for maxillary sinusitis with the symptoms of swelling, pain and pus discharge in the buccal region. The author analized 66 cases clinically and radiographically which were diagnosed as post- operative maxillary cyst in SNUH during 5 years (1977. 8-1982. 7). The obtained results were as follows; 1. This cyst occurred more frequently in male than in female and the incidence is the highest in the 4th decade. 2. The right side was more frequently affected than the left side. 3. Initial radical operations of the maxillary sinueses were performed mainly between the age of 15 and 24 years. 4. The duration between the initial operation and the onset of cyst was mainly from 10 to 24 years. 5. Pain, swelling and pus discharge in the buccal region were most frequent chief complaints. 6. In panoramic radiographs, most of the post-operative maxillary cysts were monolocular type, showing distinct border, with smooth margin and without any definite sclerotic border. 7. In Waters' view, 43 cases showed radiographic changes due to cyst.
