Radiolucency of anterior mandible crossing midline

چکیده
Odontogenic cysts are the most commonly occurring cysts in the jaws and are the reason for the radiolucent appearances. The radicular cyst is a type of an infl ammatory cyst, caused due to pulpal necrosis followed by trauma or caries, with an associated infl ammatory response at the periapical region. Many a times it is diffi cult to diff erentiate from other bony lesions and it poses diagnostic challenges due to its location. Here, we present a case of large radicular cyst of anterior mandibular region crossing midline which poses radiographic diagnostic challenges.

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic neoplasm which frequently affects the mandible. The term ameloblastoma includes several clinico-radiological and histological types. Apart from the most commonly encountered clinicopathologic models there are few variants, whose biological profile is unknown or not elicited. The reason for lack of understanding is the scarcity of case report published in th...

Keratocyst odontogenic tumor is a benign cyst usually affecting the posterior segments of the mandible in the second and third decades of life. This lesion is detected by a multi locular radiolucency in radiographs. This cyst is rare in anterior segments of the mandible and older ages. The aim of this case report is to report a 63-year-old male affected by keratocyst odontogenic in the anterior...
متن کاملMultilocular developmental salivary gland defect
Developmental salivary gland defect is a bone depression on the lingual surface of the mandible containing salivary gland or fatty soft tissue. The most common location is within the submandibular gland fossa and often close to the inferior border of the mandible. This defect is asymptomatic and generally discovered only incidentally during radiographic examination of the area. This defect also...
متن کاملHedgehog regulated Slit expression determines commissure and glial cell position in the zebrafish forebrain.
Three major axon pathways cross the midline of the vertebrate forebrain early in embryonic development: the postoptic commissure (POC), the anterior commissure (AC) and the optic nerve. We show that a small population of Gfap+ astroglia spans the midline of the zebrafish forebrain in the position of, and prior to, commissural and retinal axon crossing. These glial ;bridges' form in regions devo...
متن کاملAnterior-posterior guidance of commissural axons by Wnt-frizzled signaling.
Commissural neurons in the mammalian dorsal spinal cord send axons ventrally toward the floor plate, where they cross the midline and turn anteriorly toward the brain; a gradient of chemoattractant(s) inside the spinal cord controls this turning. In rodents, several Wnt proteins stimulate the extension of commissural axons after midline crossing (postcrossing). We found that Wnt4 messenger RNA ...
