Head and Neck Imaging

Globulomaxillary cyst

one of the fissural cysts occurring in the upper jaw. It has a characteristic localization between the lateral incisor and canine teeth. As it enlarges the cyst separates and tilts the adjacent teeth roots, and expands the bone of the alveolar process. The surrounding teeth remain vital, which helps to differentiate this lesion from a radicular cyst (see odontogenic cysts).
