Bilateral Nasoalveolar Cyst Causing Nasal Obstruction

Figure 2

Intraoperative image of the cysts that were excised by sublabial approach. The cyst on the right was reduced in size because it ruptured due to an infection, but the cyst on the left kept narrowing the inferior meatus in the vestibule floor (a, b). In the intraoperative assessment fibrotic adhesions of the cyst on the right due to infection were seen, while the left cyst’s borders were seen to be easily separated from the surrounding structures (c, d). After the cysts were totally excised nasal obstruction also passed (e, f).
