Abstract

The maxillary swing approach (MSA) allows access to the retromaxillary area, pterygopalatine fossa, nasopharynx and the infratemporal fossa through temporary disarticulation and lateral swing of the maxilla with the attached facial skin. We report a case of resection of a maxillary tumor occupying a wide area of the maxillary sinus using a modified MSA.
