Magnetic resonance image of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint.

Sixteen temporomandibular joints (TMJ) were examined by a high resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imager. Multisection 3.5 mm thick sagittal and coronal images were obtained by 1.0-T MR system and spin-echo sequence (TR = 800 msec, TE = 20 msec). MR provided useful information about meniscal position, morphology and histology. In our study, the MR of the 16 TMJ showed normal finding in two cases and abnormal findings could be differentiated into anterior disc displacement with reduction (8 cases), anterior disc displacement without reduction (3 cases) and bony change (3 cases). MR imaging can produce high-quality tomographic images with good demonstration of the internal structures of TMJ. As it is a noninvasive technique involving no ionizing radiation, MR imaging has been shown to be a useful tool for the demonstration of internal changes in TMJ.

Fluid levels in aneurysmal bone cysts.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign, expansile, osteolytic lesions of the bone. All the aneurysmal bone cysts studied in this case report were observed during the 2 year period, 1989 to 1991. The patients involved had received radiographic examination: plain and magnetic resonance (MR) image; one of the patients also received a computed tomography (CT). The plain radiograph generally showed a well-defined, expansile, osteolytic lesion associated with a pathologic fracture; the CT and MR images showed a fluid-fluid level within the lesion. This paper will report the findings of fluid-fluid levels, using radiographic images, in aneurysmal bone cysts.

Arthrographic evaluation of the internal derangement of temporomandibular joint.

From a functional point of view, the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) is one of the most important joints in the body. Optimal radiographic visualization is becoming increasingly important to medical and dental specialists as abnormal TMJ derangements are becoming better understood. Because the most common TMJ arthropathy is the internal derangement of TMJ, arthrography of the temporomandibular joint is widely performed in clinical practice. From January 1986 to December 1990, twenty temporomandibular joint arthrographies were performed in patients with symptoms of pain, clicking and dysfunction. We report our findings on these twenty patients who were examined by arthrography, which was conducted due to internal derangements related to meniscal dysfunction.
