[Oradlist] Plaintext : maxillary sinus antroliths?

[Ruprecht, Axel]

No, unless you are in the sinus. These are exostosesm but remember that the wall of the sinus is an outer border of the maxilla.

If so, they should be detectable on clinical examination.

I think that these are not antroliths but so-called antral projections, that is, exostoses.

Dear Colleagues,

An incidental finding of multiple well defined small opacities in both maxillary sinuses. Male 25 yrs. Med History - smokes - 7-pack years.  Denies recreational drugs. No medications. Gross caries.

Are these just antroliths or could they be multiple osteomas?

Best wishes.
