Abstract

Inflammatory swelling of the cheek is an extremely rare complication of antral sinusitis. When such swelling occurs, a diagnostic search for a specific coexisting condition must be made. The differential diagnosis includes a postsurgical or posttraumatic defect in the anterior antral wall; an unusual fungal, granulomatous, or neoplastic disease of the maxillary sinus; dental infection; or dacryocystitis.
