Síndrome de eagle: una revisión de la literatura

Introduction: Eagle syndrome (ES) is a very unusual pathology caused by the elongation of the styloid process (SP), it can cause various clinical symptoms, the size ranges between approximately 25 to 30 mm, when it exceeds these parameters it is classified as attached as elongated process. Objective: To describe the general aspects, diagnosis and treatment of Eagle Syndrome. Development: Eagle Syndrome is a complex pathology that requires extensive knowledge of its signs and symptoms to establish a correct diagnosis and subsequently an adequate treatment. Conclusion: Contrast-enhanced CT examination can easily diagnose this disease, it is important to consider a differential diagnosis. Surgery is the best alternative when conservative management fails, it reduces morbidity. Recognizing diagnostic tools, applicable images, and alternatives is crucial for successful treatment.Introducción: El síndrome de Eagle (SE) es una patología muy poco habitual causada por el alargamiento del proceso estiloides (SP), puede causar diversos síntomas clínicos, el tamaño oscila entre los 25 hasta los 30 mm aproximadamente, cuando excede estos parámetros se le atribuye como apófisis alargada. Objetivo: Describir los aspectos generales, diagnóstico y tratamiento del Síndrome de Eagle. Desarrollo: El Síndrome de Eagle es una patología compleja que requiere un conocimiento amplio de sus signos y síntomas para establecer un correcto diagnóstico y posteriormente un adecuado tratamiento. Conclusión: El examen de TC mejorado con contraste puede diagnosticar fácilmente esta enfermedad, es importante contemplar un diagnóstico diferencial. La cirugía es la mejor alternativa cuando falla el manejo conservador, reduce morbilidad. Es crucial reconocer las herramientas de diagnóstico, las imágenes aplicables y las alternativas para un tratamiento exitoso

Consideraciones clínicas-radiográficas del quiste residual y quiste dentígero: una revisión literaria

Introduction: The cyst is defined as a pathological cavity with liquid, semiliquid, gaseous or solid content, lined internally by epithelium and externally covered by connective tissue. It is usually asymptomatic and most are found by radiography. Cysts in the oral and maxillofacial region can be classified as odontogenic and non-odontogenic; within them is the QR and QD. Its great growth potential leads to asymmetries, paresthesia, dental displacement and even neoplastic transformation. Objective: To determine the importance of the clinical-radiographic considerations of the residual cyst and dentigerous cyst. Development: QD and QR belong to the odontogenic type group. Likewise, the review highlights its own characteristics, clinical assessment, radiographic assessment and data that allow the differential diagnosis for each cyst. Conclusions: Both QR and QD are common conditions in the world population. Its diagnosis is often given by chance, in early stages. They have similar characteristics, but also different ones that allow them to be differentiated. The success in the diagnosis is based on the correct interpretation of the radiographic data.Introducción: Se define al quiste como una cavidad patológica con contenido líquido, semilíquido, gaseoso o sólido, revestida interiormente por epitelio y cubierta externamente por tejido conectivo. Suele ser asintomático y en su mayoría se encuentran mediante una radiografía. Los quistes en la región oral y maxilofacial se pueden clasificar en odontogénicos y no odontogénicos; dentro de ellos se encuentra el QR y QD. Su gran potencial de crecimiento conduce a asimetrías, parestesia, desplazamiento dentario y hasta transformación neoplásica. Objetivo: Determinar la importancia de las consideraciones clínicas-radiográficas del quiste residual y quiste dentigero. Desarrollo: El QD y QR pertenecen al grupo del tipo odontogénico. Asimismo, en la revisión se resaltan las características propias, apreciación clínica, valoración radiográfica y datos que permitan realizar el diagnóstico diferencial para cada quiste. Conclusiones: Tanto el QR y QD, son padecimientos usuales en la población mundial. Su diagnóstico se da muchas veces de forma casual, en estadios tempranos. Presentan características similares, pero también distintas que permiten diferenciarlos. El éxito en el diagnóstico se basa en la correcta interpretación de los datos radiográficos

Apreciación prequirúrgica de los terceros molares mandibulares impactados: una revisión literaria

Introduction: An impacted tooth is a retained tooth that fails to partially or completely pierce the mucosa, mandibular third molars being more common. This condition is associated with multiple factors such as the interposition of neighboring teeth, bad position of the piece to erupt, very fibrous soft tissues, or when the bone covers the anatomical crown. Objective: to determine the importance of the pre-surgical evaluation of impacted mandibular third molars and the clinical considerations for their extraction. Development: The clinical evaluation of TMI is carried out through the analysis of the possible causes that could predispose to the development of this alteration. Likewise, Pell-Gregory and Winter classify these teeth according to their depth, position and angulation, which allows the extraction to be planned. On the other hand, the importance of orthopantomography as a complementary examination, surgical management, pre-surgical and post-surgical indications, as well as the main complications due to extraction are also highlighted. Conclusions: Before extracting a TMI, it is vital to assess the conditions of the problem piece through its angulation, position, depth and commitment to neighboring structures. That is why the TMI extraction has to be planned and studied to guarantee the patient's recovery in the postoperative period.Introducción: Un diente impactado es aquel diente retenido que no logra perforar la mucosa parcial o completamente, siendo más común los terceros molares mandibulares. Esta condición se asocia a múltiples factores tales como la interposición de dientes vecinos, mal posición de la pieza a erupcionar, tejidos blandos muy fibrosos, o cuando el hueso cubre la corona anatómica. Objetivo: determinar la importancia de la evaluación prequirúrgica de terceros molares mandibulares impactados y las consideraciones clínicas para su exodoncia. Desarrollo: La valoración clínica de los TMI se realiza a través del análisis de las posibles causas que podrían predisponer al desarrollo de esta alteración. Asimismo, Pell-Gregory y Winter clasifican a estos dientes según su profundidad, posición y angulación lo que permite planificar la exodoncia. Por otro lado, también se resalta la importancia de la ortopantomografía como examen complementario, el manejo quirúrgico, indicaciones prequirúrgicas y posquirúrgicas, así como también, las principales complicaciones por exodoncia. Conclusiones: Antes de extraer un TMI es vital valorar las condiciones de la pieza problema a través de su angulación, posición, profundidad y compromiso con estructuras vecinas. Es por ello, que la exodoncia de TMI tiene que ser planificada y estudiada para garantizar la recuperación del paciente en el posoperatorio
