Abstract

Radiological findings and treatment approaches for nasolabial cysts: Case reportNasolabial cyst is a rare disease which develops from non-odontogenic epithelium and is usuallu unilateral, especially seen in the left side. Nasolabial cyst is usually asymptomatic and it is localized near the lateral nasal wing. As the size of the cyst grows it becomes symptomatic by manifesting swelling in the face and hard palate, sometimes in the form of nasal obstruction. The preferred treatment is the excision of the cyst by sublabial approach, while there are other optional treatments like cyst aspiration, endoscopic marsupialization by transnasal approach and injection of slerosing agents. İn this article we present two cases with initial diagnosis of nasolabial cyst who were performed sublabial cyst excision and the diagnosis was histopathologically verified ;the radiological findings and the treatment approaches being presented according to literature information

Özet

Nazoalveolar kist, non-odontojenik epitelden gelişen nadir görülen bir hastalık olup genellikle tek taraflı olarak ortaya çıkar. Gelişimsel kaynaklı olduğu değerlendirilen bu kistler nazal alar bölgede dolgunluk, damakta şişlik ve bazen de burun tıkanıklığı ile kendini gösterirler. Bu yazıda, nazoalveolar kist ön tanısıyla sublabial kist eksizyonu yapılarak tedavi edilen ve histopatolojik olarak da tanısı doğrulanan iki olgu sunuldu. Hasıtaların kliniği, radyolojik bulguları ve tedavi yaklaşımları literatür bilgisi eşliğinde anlatıldı
