The nasopalatine cyst is the most common epithelial and non-odontogenic cyst of the maxilla. It is of embryological origin. It is different from a radicular cyst. The diagnosis is based on radiographic and histological data. The treatment is enucleation. The surgical approach depends on the size of the cyst and its anterior or posterior extension. Excision must be total to avoid relapse which may occur beyond 5 years. Long-term follow-up is essential.

Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are among the most common nonodontogenic cysts, typically located in the midline of anterior maxillary hard palate. They usually arise from the embryonic epithelial vestiges of the nasopalatine duct. NPDCs predominantly affect adult males, generally during their fourth decade of life.

Article Synopsis
- This study looked at whether measuring the size of the nasopalatine canal using special 3D images (CBCT) could help tell the difference between nasopalatine duct cysts and normal canals.
- They compared 19 patients with cysts to 164 people without to see how the sizes differed.
- The researchers found that certain measurements were really good at spotting cysts, with an accuracy rate of almost 99% for detecting them!

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the anatomical characteristics of the nasolacrimal canal (NLC) and its correlation with nasal and paranasal sinus conditions, particularly how they relate to duct obstruction.
- Using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), measurements such as diameter, length, and angle of the NLC were analyzed in 126 patients to assess the influence of gender and age on these parameters.
- Findings showed significant differences in the canal's angle and length between males and females, with women having a wider angle and shorter canal length compared to men, indicating gender-related anatomical variations.

Article Synopsis
- The nasopalatine canal (NPC) is a key area in the front of the mouth that is important for dental implants.
- Researchers used special 3D scans called CBCT to study the shape and size of the NPC in 150 people.
- They found that the NPC varies in males and females and has different shapes and openings, which is important to know to avoid problems during dental surgeries.

Article Synopsis
- A nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) is a common type of cyst in the mouth, but it's rare in kids and often goes unnoticed until checked with X-rays.
- An 11-year-old boy had a big NPDC that made his front teeth loose and caused swelling in his mouth. Doctors found it using imaging and performed surgery to remove it, also stabilizing his teeth for healing.
- This case shows how important it is to recognize NPDC in children early on to avoid problems like bone loss and to help treat it effectively.
