One hypothesis for their etiology is that they arise from entrapment of epithelial debris or rests during the midline fusion of the first 2 branchial arches. Excision of the dermoid cyst is often the treatment of choice. The extraoral approach is necessary when the cysts lies under the geniohyoid muscle causing deglutition and respiratory problems. On the other hand, the intra-oral approach is effective for the treatment of large lesions and led to very good cosmetic and functional results. The different treatment approaches for two large Des are presented, the extraoral approach was utilized for a patient who presented to the ER with respiratory problem while the intraoral approach was performed and led to good esthetic results without recurrence.  ISSN : 000  Journal Name : Saudi Journal of Oto Rhino-Laryngology head and neck surgery  Volume : 8  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 2006 AH 2006 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, November 7, 2009  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email أحمد اليماني Alyamani, Ahmed Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  24374.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
