Abstract

Cholesteatoma of the paranasal sinuses is a rare condition. The purpose of this paper is to present a child with a congenital maxillary sinus cholesteatoma. An 18-month-old girl presented with a 4-week history of right cheek and intraoral swelling. Examination revealed a smooth swelling of the right hard palate in association with the facial swelling in the maxillary region. An inferior meatal antrostomy revealed pultaceous debris in the right maxillary antrum and biopsy confirmed a maxillary sinus cholesteatoma. The inferior meatal antrostomy was enlarged to allow exteriorisation of the disease. Recurrence of the disease has not presented on follow-up. An exteriorisation procedure as performed, in child of this age, allows normal facial growth. If recurrence develops then further treatment may be instituted in a more mature facial skeleton.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 107. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 March 2024.
All research outputs
#394,852
of 25,534,033 outputs
Outputs from Human Nature
#41
of 547 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#304
of 62,768 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Human Nature
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,534,033 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 547 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 33.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 62,768 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
