I had bad left ear pain that radiated.
I was at dentist office they seen a retention cyst on cbct scan, dentist said i should see a ENT. I went for multiple opinions. I now know it should have never been done in the first place. I did not have any breathing problems. He told me he did not touch my turbinate or go near my eye. Unfortunately he did in the most awful way. He used that dental CBCT scan and did not order his own. Gosh I just did not know enough, but he should have.😞

@emptynose-I’m very sorry to hear this, and I hope you have been working with someone for pain relief or improvements....

Unfortunately, only the good honest ENTs understand that retention cysts are very common findings, especially in the maxillary sinuses and typically cause no issues. It is the enlarged opening that begins at the back of the middle turbinate and incision site. In order to gain access they also remove an uncinate process, which serves a very important role to keep air filtered away from the tissues in the sinuses, like a shield. Many ENTs are in disagreement of what all these structures do. They all function together and need the correct flow/attachments to function properly.

I hope you have found all of this out early enough to start finding some relief and a path to heal.

I'd talk to an attorney
