AI Article Synopsis
- This report presents the first three documented cases of buccal fat pad herniation into the maxillary antrum, revealed through CT imaging.
- Only 20 total cases of traumatic herniation of the buccal fat pad have been mentioned in medical literature, with most instances occurring in the oral cavity.
- The previous occurrence of buccal fat pad herniation into the maxillary antrum was documented before modern imaging techniques, leading to a lack of preoperative diagnosis in that case.
Article Abstract
We report the first 3 cases in which CT disclosed herniation of the body of the buccal fat pad into the maxillary antrum. Only 20 cases of traumatic herniation of the buccal fat pad have been described in the literature. In all except one instance, the buccal fat pad herniated into the oral cavity. The only previous report of herniation of the buccal fat pad into the maxillary antrum is in an article published before modern cross-sectional imaging, and the diagnosis was not made preoperatively in that case.
