ROLE OF ENDOSCOPE-ASSISTED POWERED INSTRUMENTATION IN MANAGEMENT OF THORNWALDT’S CYST: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Thornwaldt’s cyst occurs in the midline of the nasopharynx (space behind nasal cavity).Although it is relatively uncommon and majority are asymptomatic, it may cause significant symptoms. We present a case of young male who presented with history of snoring, stuffy nose and unusual heaviness in head. He had a history of irregular clinician consultation due to transferable nature of his job. On detailed history and work-up, he was found to have symptomatic Thornwaldt’s cyst with chronic pansinusitis. This case report highlights the importance of endoscope-assisted powered instrumentation; ie. microdebrider assisted surgery (MAS) under endoscopic guidance in management of the case
