The girl has teeth in her nose. It's strange that her teeth grow in her nose
4hw.com.cn: a 17-year-old girl often has a runny nose. She thought it was rhinitis. Recently, she went to the hospital because of tooth inflammation. When filming, she accidentally found that her teeth grew into her nose. Finally, the otolaryngologist removed the tooth from her sinuses through minimally invasive surgery.
Xiao Jing (a pseudonym), who lives in Hong'an, is 17 years old and is studying in senior two. Since two years ago, she has always had purulent runny nose and stuffy nose. Xiaojing's parents thought it was rhinitis, so they bought some rhinitis medicine to spray on her, but the symptoms have not been alleviated.
During this time, Xiaojing found that her teeth began to flow pus and gave off a bad smell, which made people dare not approach. Her parents took her to the local hospital.
The film shows that one tooth is missing in the mouth, but one more tooth is in the nose. For further treatment, parents brought Xiaojing to the otolaryngology department of Houhu Hospital of Wuhan Central Hospital.
After CT examination, it was found that there was a white object in her paranasal sinuses, which was shaped like a tooth. According to sun suguang, an otolaryngologist, this may be a dental cyst, and this white object is a tooth.
Xiaojing and her family are unbelievable: 'how can teeth grow into the nasal cavity?' The doctor explained: 'the cause of the disease is related to trauma, inflammation or congenital abnormal tooth development during the patient's tooth development.'
As the maxillary sinus dentigerous cyst has destroyed the bone of the lower lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, if the disease continues to develop, it will lead to the destruction of the bone wall of the maxillary sinus and the collapse of the face. Therefore, surgical treatment is necessary to remove the dentigerous cyst.
Subsequently, otolaryngologists performed minimally invasive surgery for Xiaojing. Under nasal endoscopy, the cyst and tooth were successfully removed from the nasal sinus, and the size of this tooth was the same as that of ordinary teeth.
"The previous symptoms of nasal congestion, pus and runny nose were caused by the inflammatory reaction caused by the teeth in the nasal cavity." Chen Wei, deputy chief physician of the Department of Otolaryngology, introduced that the tooth growing from the maxilla into the nasal cavity is called ectopic tooth in medicine.
The normal person's teeth should be in the mouth. The patient's teeth are arranged irregularly. It is considered that in the process of development, because of developmental defects, the teeth do not germinate to the correct position, grow upward and close to the nasal cavity and maxillary sinus. Generally, there is no obvious discomfort in childhood, and there will be symptoms such as nasal congestion and epistaxis after growing up.
If you often have symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal pain or foreign body feeling, nosebleeds and so on, you'd better go to a regular hospital for examination. Don't treat it blindly as rhinitis.
When the child has teeth, parents should pay attention to the development of teeth and pay attention to oral hygiene. If the teeth do not grow for a long time, they should see a doctor in time.
