“…1 The material is also applied in nasal tip surgery, reconstruction of the paranasal sinuses, and reconstruction of the nasal dorsum. [8][9][10] There are several reasons why this material has achieved a moderate degree of popularity in Asian rhinoplasty, including a good safety profile, ease of manipulation, and its ability to provide a smooth postoperative contour of the nasal dorsum. Above all, safety is the most significant factor that distinguishes TPFL from commonly used alloplastics.…”

“…However, although a nasoantral window may relieve symptoms (if present), deformities may still persist. 14,20,32 Hyun et al 14 reported good cosmetic results after reduction osteoplasty. Antral wall turnover, greenstick downward fracture, and electrical burring were proposed by Choi et al 16 to correct facial deformities based on the thickness of the antral wall and the extension of the expanded area.…”

Background:Pneumosinus dilatans (PSD) is a rare pathological paranasal sinus expansion. This condition is usually symptomatic or cosmetically apparent, requiring surgical intervention. Multiple hypotheses have been postulated as to the cause of this condition; however, the precise cause and pathogenesis remain obscure.Case report and Methods:An 11-year-old boy presented with right eye bulging and was subsequently found to have PSD of the maxillary sinus. A search was conducted of the PubMed electronic database, using the keywords “pneumosinus dilatans,” “pneum(oco)ele,” “pneum(oc)ele,” “pneum(atoco)ele,” and “air cyst.” Articles published in English were reviewed.Results:The literature review identified 29 cases of PSD involving the maxillary sinus. The mean age of presentation was 25 years old. Only the right maxillary sinus was affected in 16 cases, followed by the bilateral sinuses in 7 cases and the left sinus in 6 cases. In 5 cases, all paranasal sinuses, along with the maxillary sinus, were expanded. The most common presenting symptom was facial swelling, which was found in 55% of the cases, followed by proptosis and pain. Computed tomography is the gold standard radiological method for diagnosing PSD.Conclusions:Pneumosinus dilatans is a rare condition that is usually symptomatic and requires surgical intervention. The etiology of the disease is attributed to multiple hypotheses, but more studies are needed to explore this condition further.

Hintergrund und Fragestellung Einseitige Erkrankungen der Kieferhöhle sind vorwiegend entzündlicher Genese. Häufige Differenzialdiagnosen wie die dentogene Sinusitis, der Pilzball, Antrochoanalpolyp oder das invertierte Papillom werden in anderen Beiträgen in diesem Heft behandelt. Seltene Differenzialdiagnosen sind das Silent-Sinus-Syndrom (SSS), das organisierte Hämatom (OH) und der Pneumosinus dilatans (PD). Aufgrund der Seltenheit fehlen verlässliche Angaben zur Inzidenz. Die Seltenheit führt einerseits zu einer verzögerten Diagnostik. Gleichzeitig kommt es häufig zu einem "Zuviel" an Diagnostik. Sowohl eine verzögerte als auch eine überschießende Therapie, z. B. wegen des Verdachts auf ein malignes Geschehen im Fall des OH, kann eine erhöhte Morbidität bei den Patienten zur Folge haben.
