case_images: fig1
case_images: A panoramic radiograph (Figure 1) and CT examination (Figure 2) were requested to assess the area, and the images showed a severe marginal alveolar bone loss in the area of the missing upper right posterior teeth and inferior extension of the maxillary sinus floor.
case_images: CT examination of the right maxilla in the bone window: (a) axial section, (b) corrected sagittal section, (c) coronal section, and (d) surface rendering; white arrows showing a small, well-defined, corticated, spherical, radiolucency in the superioanterior wall of the right maxillary sinus wall just below the infraorbital rim and medial to the infraorbital foramen.

case_images: Intraoperative photographs showing (a) the lesion on the right inferior orbital rim and medial to infraorbital foramen and (b) after complete removal of the lesion with preserving inferior orbital rim.

case_images: It measured about 3 to 4 mm in dimension and was distinct from the surrounding normal bone (Figure 3(a)). The right infraorbital nerve was protected and not violated (Figure 3(b)).
case_images: Thick-slice CT sections in the maximum intensity projection (MIP) in (a) frontal and (b) lateral views showing the reconstruction mesh in place.
