Bilateral sinus cysts in a filly treated by endoscopic sinus surgery.
Abstract: Bilateral cysts in the frontal and caudal maxillary sinuses in a filly treated by endoscopic sinus surgery (sinoscopy) and triangulation technique are described. Sinoscopy has the advantage of being a minimally invasive technique and permits a complete inspection of the frontal and maxillary sinuses, which is not possible through flap sinusotomy. Des kystes bilatéraux dans les sinus maxillaires frontal et caudal chez une pouliche traitée par une chirurgie endoscopique des sinus (sinoscopie) et une technique de triangulation sont décrits. La sinoscopie possède l’avantage d’être une technique minimalement invasive et permet une inspection complète des sinus frontal et maxillaire, ce qui n’est pas possible par une sinusotomie avec lambeau.

The research discusses a case where a young female horse (filly) suffering from cysts in both frontal and rear cheek sinuses, was successfully treated using minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery.
Introduction
- The study revolves around a case wherein a filly was diagnosed with bilateral cysts affecting both the frontal and caudal maxillary sinuses.
- These cysts were treated with a minimally invasive surgery technique known as sinoscopy, as well as a triangulation strategy.
- The authors highlight that sinoscopy allows for a more thorough inspection of the sinus regions, which traditional flap sinusotomy cannot offer.
Significance of Sinoscopy
- Sinoscopy is a form of endoscopic surgery, which is appreciated for its minimally invasive nature.
- This approach significantly lowers the potential risks and trauma associated with more invasive surgical interventions.
- It permits a full inspection of the entire frontal and maxillary sinuses which is highly advantageous in assessing and dealing with issues present in these areas.
Comparison with Flap Sinusotomy
- The article contrasts sinoscopy with flap sinusotomy, pointing out that the latter fails to offer a comprehensive view of the sinus regions.
- Flap sinusotomy is a more traditional approach and might not give as clear a view for treatment as sinoscopy, hence the preference for the latter in this case.
Outcome of the Case
- The filly responded well to the sinoscopy and triangulation treatment, indicating that it’s an effective procedure for treating this kind of ailment in horses.
- The study hence underscores the benefits of utilizing modern, minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in veterinary practice.
