- Abstract
Tuberculosis of the maxillary sinus is a rare entity which may lead to bony erosion and fistula formation. In this case, we have described a patient of tuberculosis of maxilla, a relatively uncommon entity leading to marked bony erosion with fistula formation over face, which was reconstructed using temporalis muscle flap as a reliable and one-stage procedure alternative to more complicated surgical procedures for midfacial defects.
