Bilateral temporomandibular joint pseudogout

Chronic bilateral dislocation of temporomandibular joint.

Dislocation of the condyle of the mandible is a common condition that may occur in an acute or chronic form. It is characterised by inability to close the mouth with or without pain. Dislocation has to be differentiated from subluxation which is a self reducible condition. Dislocation can occur in any direction with anterior dislocation being the commonest one. Various predisposing factors have...

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPPD)/Pseudogout of the temporomandibular joint – FNA findings and microanalysis

We report a case of a Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPPD) presenting as a mass in the parotid and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that simulated a parotid tumor. A 35 year-old man presented with pain in the left ear area. A CT Scan of the area showed a large, calcified mass surrounding the left condylar head, and extending into the infratemporal fossa. FNA of the mass showed...

Bilateral temporomandibular joint ganglion cysts: CT and MR characteristics.

Fig. 1.Axial MR images at level of mandibular condyles. nounced during Valsalva. There was no evidence of adenopathy or bruit, nor was there evidence of paresthesia or motor deficit. Oral examination was normal. MR imaging demonstrated bilateral cystic structures just anterior and lateral to the mandibular condyles (Figs. 1 and 2). CT before and after right temporomandibular joint arthrography ...

Craniofacial morphology of Chinese patients with bilateral temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the morphological features of craniofacial structures in young patients affected by bilateral temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis (TMJOA). METHODS Forty-three males and 189 females aged 15 to 25 years who had lateral cephalograms and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) radiological examinations were included. They were classified into a TMJOA group and a control group, acco...
