CYSTS OBSERVED IN CHILDREN: CASE SERIES

Abstract

There can be a wide variety and prevalence of oral pathological conditions in children that can differ from adults in terms of symptoms and clinical course. This case presentation aims to raise awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of oral pathological lesions in pediatric patients. In three patients, two boys and one girl aged between 10 and 14, diagnosed with the radicular cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, and odontogenic myxoma, treatments such as marsupialization, enucleation, and enucleation with the associated impacted tooth were performed based on the size and type of the lesions. Postoperative follow-up of the patients is ongoing. Knowing pediatric oral lesions is crucial for accurate and differential diagnosis. When determining the treatment approach for these lesions in children, factors such as ongoing maxillofacial development, high osteogenic activity, and potential cooperation issues should be taken into consideration.

ÇOCUKLARDA GÖRÜLEN KİSTLER: VAKA SERİSİ

Abstract

Çocuklarda geniş çeşitlilikte ve prevalansta, semptomları ve klinik seyri açısından yetişkinlerden farklılık gösterebilen oral patolojik durumlar gözlenebilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumu ile çocuk hastalarda oral patolojik lezyonlarının erken tanı ve tedavisinin önemine dair farkındalık yaratmak amaçlanmıştır. Radiküler kist, odontojenik keratokist ve odontojenik miksoma patoloji tanılı 10-14 yaş arasında bulunan 2’ si erkek 1’i kız hastada lezyonların büyüklükleri ve türlerine göre marsupyalizasyon, enüklasyon, gömülü dişle beraber ilgili lezyonun enüklasyonu gibi tedaviler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hastaların operasyon sonrasındaki takipleri devam etmektedir. Pediatrik oral lezyonlar hakkında bilgi sahibi olmak, doğru ve ayırıcı teşhis açısından oldukça önemlidir. Çocuklarda bu lezyonlara ait tedavi yaklaşımının belirlenmesinde maksillofasiyal gelişimin devam ettiği, yüksek osteojenik aktivitenin olduğu ve kooperasyon problemlerinin olabileceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
