| Summary: | Introduction. Therapeutic approach to jaw cysts may depend on their
dimensions and localization. Enucleation of cystic lesion is not always
preferable in the first act, especially if large cysts are in close proximity
to important anatomical structures. The aim of this paper was to present the
outcome of the treatment protocol comprising preoperative decompression and
subsequent enucleation of a large maxillary cyst. Case report. A 21-year-old
male patient with large asymptomatic radicular cyst in the right maxillary
sinus was presented to our clinic. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)
showed a large cyst, which perforated the right anterior maxillary wall by
1.5 cm, and was in the intimate contact with the orbital floor. Surgical
treatment of the cystic lesion comprised: preoperative decompression with
biopsy in the first act and enucleation, performed under general anesthesia,
6 months after the observation period. Conclusion. Decompression with
subsequent enucleation proved to be effective treatment of large radicular
cyst in maxillary sinus with low-morbidity. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke
