RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 A conventional surgical approach for removal of an ectopic tooth in the nasal cavity JF BMJ Case Reports JO BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e231279 DO 10.1136/bcr-2019-231279 VO 12 IS 8 A1 Mark Gormley A1 Ramanjot Chahal A1 Nicola Gallacher A1 Christopher Bell YR 2019 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/12/8/e231279.abstract AB A 40-year-old female patient presented to ears, nose and throat complaining of cacosmia and discharge from the left maxillary sinus. Her CT scan revealed an ectopic supplemental nasal tooth which could not be removed by nasoendoscopy. Therefore, a conventional intraoral surgical approach was taken. In this case, we discuss the indications for conventional surgical removal of teeth from the nasal cavity when a nasoendoscopic approach is not possible. We highlight the potential pitfalls of both conventional and nasoendoscopic approaches, including some essential considerations when treatment planning these cases.
