Abstract
Mrs. S., aged 40, who complained of pain in the right eye, had had a nasal discharge for ten years. She had had all the upper right teeth extracted ten years before I saw her. I found maxillary sinusitis on the right side. A roentgenogram revealed the right maxillary sinus to be dark. I opened the sinus by way of the nose. It was filled with foul-smelling pus. I gave treatments by way of the nostril for six weeks, at the end of which time pus was still present. Another roentgenogram, reproduced herewith, disclosed a foreign body in the maxillary sinus which, on being removed by the Caldwell operation, proved to be a cuboid calculus, the size of a small die. The patient made a rapid recovery.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
