A case is presented in which an anatomical feature, canalis sinuosus, manifested as a periapical radiolucency on an upper canine. This may have been interpreted as an inflammatory lesion and led to the patient receiving inappropriate treatment had a further radiograph not been taken. The incisive foramen and mental foramen are well known anatomical features which may mimic periapical inflammatory lesions but it is less common for a neurovascular canal to manifest as a periapical radiolucency on an upper canine.
