Surgical ciliated cysts of the mandible: A systematic review of case reports.

Background: Surgical ciliated cysts occur mainly in the maxillae after radical maxillary sinus surgery; they rarely develop in the mandible. This study aims to gather information on all the characteristics of patients suffering from mandibular surgical ciliated cysts. This article also reports two new cases.

The specific branches leading to the genioglossus muscle: three-dimensional localisation using skin reference points.

Introduction: Supra-selective stimulation of the branches destined for the horizontal part of genioglossus muscle (GGh) could be a target of choice in the treatment of mild-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The main aim of our study was to assess a percutaneous method for the three-dimensional localisation of the terminal branches destined to GGh.

Materials And Methods: Twenty cadaveric hypoglossal nerves were dissected and included in the injection protocol.
