Maxillary sinus hypoplasia (MSH) is an uncommon clinical disease that represents a persistent decrease in sinus volume, which results from centripetal reaction of the maxillary sinus walls. We present a unilateral MSH case of a 46-year-old male patient with a history of nasal obstruction and headache for 3 years. He had a history of Caldwell Luc operation (CLOP) 10 years ago, and no enophthalmos, hypoglobus or facial asymmetry. After confirming the right diagnosis of MSH, filled with bone in the computed tomography scan, hyperplastic bone was removed by the CLOP approach. The uncinate process and infundibular passage were found to be degenerated and ostium was also examined to be obstructed under endoscopic confirmation. MSH can be mistaken for chronic maxillary sinusitis because of the plain x-ray appearance, so the aggravated state of MSH can be the result of surgeon's misjudgment. With additional literature reviews, this rare experience is first introduced in our Korean oral and maxillofacial surgery field.

The ameloblastic carcinoma is an extremely rare, aggressive odontogenic neoplasm of the jaws. It is described as an ameloblastoma in which there is histologic evidence of malignancy in the primary or recurrent tumors, regardless of whether it has metastasized. We report an aggressive case of ameloblastic carcinoma of the mandible. A 68-year-old man with the complaint of the left facial swelling and intermittent pain was referred to our hospital. Serial images of panoramic radiograph, computed tomograph, and magnetic resonance imaging showed an ill-defined destructive radiolucent lesion of the left mandible. The lesion had typically aggressive behavior with extensive local destruction of bone and extended to the adjacent soft tissues. Bone scan revealed increased uptakes in the left mandibular body and ramus regions. Histological features were generally resembled with those of an ameloblastoma but with cytologic features of epithelial malignancy.

Purpose Microtia is congenital anomaly of external ear and the reconstruction method for the external ear of microtia patient was based on autogenous costal cartilage framework. The application of 3D printing technique in medical science has made more possibility of human tissue restoration, and we tried to apply this technique in auricular reconstruction field. Materials and Methods As for unilateral microtia patient, the contralateral side ear is normal and reconstructive surgeon tried to mimic it for reconstruction of affected ear. So, we obtained facial CT scan of microtia patient and made mirror image of normal side ear. Moreover, to make the 3D scaffold based on the mirror image of normal ear and to apply this scaffold for the auricular reconstruction surgery, we included auriculocephalic sulcus and anterior fixation part. Results We could successfully obtain mirror image of normal ear, auriculocephalic sulcus and anterior fixation part for 3D scaffold printing. Conclusions Using this CT image processing and 3D printing technique, we will be able to make the scaffold for auricular reconstruction of unilateral microtia patient, and perform auricular reconstruction in near future.

Purpose: Globe displacement due to a blowout fracture is a rare clinical phenomenon. The authors present reduction of a globe displacement to the maxillary sinus due to trauma suffered in a fall and the reconstruction of a large defect left in the medial and inferior orbit. Methods: A 39-year-old male patient was unable to open his left eye after being struck on the periorbital area by a metal edge. Laceration was not noted in that area but we were unable to observe the intraorbital globe. A facial computed tomography (CT) scan showed that the globe was displaced through the maxillary sinus. A transconjunctival approach was used to access the infraorbital margin and the globe entrapped in the inferior margin of the orbit was successfully reduced. A large defect in the medial and inferior orbit was reconstructed using a graft from the iliac bone. Results: In 5 months after the operation, no atrophy of the globe was seen. Both sides retained a similar shape. A satisfactory functionality outcome in terms of improved extraocular muscle movement, and a satisfactory aesthetical outcome were achieved. Conclusion: The authors report the reduction of a globe displaced to the maxillary sinus following a fall and the reconstruction of the large defect left in the medial and inferior orbit.

Basal cell adenocarcinoma is a rare, recently described neoplasm of the salivary gland. We have experienced three cases of basal cell adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland. The tumors from patient 1 and patient 2 showed intraparotid growth in superficial lobe without cervical lymphnode metastasis. So, patient 1 and patient 2 underwent only a superficial parotidectomy and subdigastric lymphnode dissection without any adjuvant therapy. They are alive without recurrence or distant metastasis. But that of patient 3 showed widely invasive growth with multiple cervical lymph node metastases. The CT scan showed a $8{\times}7cm$ sized huge mass replacing the parotid gland with irregular margin and multiple lymphnode enlargements along the internal jugular vein. Total parotidectomy with sacrifying the facial nerve and standard radical neck dissection were caried out. Microscopically, the tumor consisted of solid nest and sheet of uniform basaloid cells separated by a fibrous connective tissue stroma with the evidence of lymphovascular invasion. As a result of the lymphnode metastasis and invasiveness of the tumor, radiation therapy was given postoperatively. We thought that close follow-up would be mandatory in this patient because of high risk of possible local recurrence and distant metastasis.

Vestibular schwannoma, also known as acoustic neuroma, is a rare benign brainstem tumor surrounding the vestibular division of the 8th cranial nerve. The presenting symptoms are hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness. Unabated growth can compress 5th (trigeminal nerve) and 7th (facial nerve) cranial nerve, which can cause nerve dysfunction such as orofacial pain, sensory abnormalities, or trigeminal neuralgia. We report a 51-year-old woman who presented with orofacial dysesthesia on her left side of the face with abnormal findings on 5th cranial nerve and 8th (vestibulocochlear nerve) cranial nerve examination. Brain magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed cerebellopontine angle tumor. She was referred to a neurosurgeon and diagnosed with vestibular schwannoma.

The purpose of these experiments is often to scan infected patients with MRI. Therefore, it is to investigate whether the antibacterial film containing silver ions, which is a non-magnetic substance, affects magnetic resonance imaging. In this experiment, the ACR phantom was used, not the patient. The ACR phantom was wrapped in an antibacterial film and the SNR, CNR, sagittal localization image, and geometrical accuracy were compared before and after. The experiment was performed 10 times and the averaged values were compared. There were no significant differences in the results of all experiments. The FDA recommends removing metal and antibacterial film masks during MRI scans. The reason is that there was one case of injury with facial burns. When I touched the antibacterial film to check the fever during the 2 hour experiment, I did not feel any particular fever. In light of the experimental results, it would be helpful to use an antibacterial film when testing an infected patient. The reason is that there isn't a difference before and after the experiment of SNR, CNR, and sagittal localization images.

Three dogs were referred with epistaxis and facial deformity. Computed tomography (CT) scan identified masses in the bilateral nasal cavity with soft tissue attenuation and contrast enhancement. These masses had caused adjacent bones lysis, especially lysis of cribriform plate that extended to the intracranial region. Base on histopathology and CT imaging results, tumors were diagnosed as nasal carcinomas at stage 4. Three dogs were treated with stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT). These dogs received 30-35 Gy from 3-5 daily treatments (7-10 Gy per treatment). The sizes of tumors decreased the most on follow-up CT images at one month after treatment. Recurrence was confirmed between 3 and 5 months after completing SRT. The survival time of dogs treated with SRT were 110, 190, and 210 days, respectively. This study confirmed that SRT could treat canine nasal carcinomas with cribriform plate lysis without causing serious radiation toxicities. Follow-up CT examination is considered at 1 month and 3 to 6 months after SRT to accurately evaluate the prognosis and the timing of recurrence.

노역분장을 위해서는 석고로 연기자의 얼굴 모형을 만들고, 그 위에 주름을 조소작업한 후 다시 석고로 음각 몰드를 제작하여 얼굴에 붙일 실리콘 피부 패치를 만들게 된다. 이러한 처리 과정은 며칠이 걸리며 연기자나 분장사에게 어려움을 주고 있다. 최근에 3D 프린팅 및 스캐닝 기술이 발전하여, 얼굴을 스캔하여 실물로 제작하는 것이 쉬워지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 석고나 조소작업 없이 노역분장용 실리콘 마스크를 간편하고 효율적으로 제작하기 위해, 얼굴 스캐닝, 인터랙티브 주름 모델링, 몰드 프린팅으로 이루어진 새로운 파이프라인을 제안한다. 고해상도 얼굴 모델에서도 주름을 실시간에 생성하기 위해 노멀맵 기반의 직관적인 스케치 인터페이스를 제시한다. 그리고 최종적인 주름의 기하를 깊이맵을 이용하여 복원하고, 주름진 얼굴의 음각 몰드를 프린팅한다. 또한 완성된 음각 몰드에 실리콘을 부은 뒤 원래의 양각 얼굴을 겹쳐 실리콘 마스크를 제작함으로써, 제안 파이프라인이 기존 방식보다 노역분장용 마스크를 간편하게 제작할 수 있음을 보인다.
