Imaging diagnosis of the temporomandibular joint: critical review of indications and new perspectivesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract In recent decades, there have been important developments in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging. New techniques complement preexisting methods, and each modality is indicated for specific conditions in accordance with the clinical diagnosis. The aim of this review is to give an overview of conventional and new techniques in TMJ imaging. The literature review includes studies published between 1976 and 2009 that appear in the Medline database. Magnetic resonance imaging remains the “gold standard” modality for TMJ analysis. It allows structures to be visualized without radiation whether or not...

We describe an unusual presentation of a fronto-orbital sphenoethmoidal FD in a 32-year-old woman with conventional radiographic, CBCT, and MRI findings. In the head and neck examination, an asymmetry was noticed on the left side, without evidence of adenopathy, paresthesia, or motor nerve deficiency. Panoramic radiographs showed a radiopaque expanded bone in the region of the posterior maxillary sinus and orbita. Computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction demonstrated an expanding lesion of the cranial bones, involving the ethmoid and periorbital bone, producing a ground-glass appearance. After the rad...

Bilateral multiple tonsillolithsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Tonsilloliths or tonsil stones are calcifications that form in the crypts of the palatal tonsils. These calculi are composed of calcium salts, alone or in combination with other mineral salts, and are usually small, although there have been occasional reports of large tonsilloliths or calculi in peritonsillar locations. Most often, these calculi are asymptomatic and small, often detected only by computed tomography (CT), although large calculi may be visible in routine panoramic radiographs. Although tonsilloliths normally do not require medical attention, they may become large enough to cause a var...

Radionuclide scan imaging of bilateral Warthin’s tumor and chronic inflammation in the submandibular glands of a patient with a history of heavy smokingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, or Warthin’s tumor, is a benign tumor, primarily localized in the parotid glands. The tumor is more common in men than women, and it occurs usually in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Smoking seems to be one of the predisposing factors. The case of a 65-year-old man is described; he presented with a chief complaint of swelling in the bilateral parotid and submandibular glands. Imaging revealed a benign tumor in the right parotid gland, but only inflammation in both submandibular and the left parotid glands. A biopsy was carried out after rapidly increased s...

Abstract Fibrosarcoma is a rare malignant fibroblastic neoplasm that only rarely affects the oral cavity. Here, we describe a rare case of fibrosarcoma affecting the mandible of a 10-year-old girl. Orthopantomography showed a well-defined radiolucency with a cortical rim typical of a benign lesion. However, occlusal radiographs showed Codman’s triangle, indicating the malignant nature of the lesion. Computed tomography showed a radiolucent lesion involving the buccal aspect of the mandible, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent surgical resection of the tumor and ...

Abstract A case of metastatic thyroid carcinoma near the left mandibular ramus with a cyst-like appearance on rotational panoramic radiographs is reported. A 55-year-old woman complained of a continuous sense of incongruity for 3–4 years since extraction of the left mandibular third molar. The lesion, with apparent gingival swelling around the left second molar, was painless and was cyst-like in appearance on plain radiographs. On the basis of the radiological findings, a benign odontogenic tumor was suspected, but computed tomography (CT) showed destruction of the lingual cortical bone with soft tissue in...

Invasive rhinomaxillary mucormycosis: a case report with a review of the literatureEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Mucormycosis is a rare, often fatal disease that is caused by zygomycetes, which are common fungi frequently found in the soil and decaying vegetation. Diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, and an immunocompromised state favor the growth of various microorganisms, including zygomycetes and the normal flora of the oral cavity, which are otherwise nonpathogenic, leading to opportunistic infections. Here we report a case of mucormycosis presenting with extensive necrosis of the maxilla along with rhinocerebral involvement in a 60-year-old patient suffering from uncontrolled diabetes with ketoacidosis. Co...

Computed tomography (CT) of cervical lymph nodes in patients with oral cancer: comparison of low-attenuation areas in lymph nodes on CT images with pathological findingsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Focal necrosis was the most important factor contributing to low attenuation in metastatic lymph nodes. However, other factors, such as tumor cells, keratinization, fibrous tissue, and accumulation of lymph fluid, also contributed. In benign lymph nodes, the presence of adipose tissue was a contributing factor in low-attenuation areas, as was focal hemorrhaging.

Susuks (charm needles) in the craniofacial regionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions As susuks are made from gold, they are generally biocompatible with human tissue and do not cause problems to their wearers. Gold and the other minor metal constituents found in susuks have no ferromagnetic characteristics and therefore pose no hazard to patients undergoing MRI.

Classification of the lingual foramina and their bony canals in the median region of the mandible: cone beam computed tomography observations of dry Japanese mandiblesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions MLFs were observed frequently, and we confirmed that arteries passed though their canals. Since s-MLFs were the most frequent, contained the artery, and were located superior to the other MLFs, clinicians should identify such foramina from preoperative images.
