Synovial chondromatosis of temporomandibular joint spreading into the cranial space
2018, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and PathologyCitation Excerpt :Most authors report CT and MRI as the most useful imaging techniques for diagnosis and surgical planning. CT scan allows a wider visualization of the joint space clearly showing erosions of the glenoid fossa, bony alterations of the skull base and condyle head and intracranial spreading mass [23,24]. CT scan also shows multiple calcified loose bodies in the joint space which form the basis of Milgram’s classification [23–25].
Synovial chondromatosis of temporomandibular joint: Journey through 25 decades and a case report
2011, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Plain radiographs are of limited value because these fail to show the cartilaginous nodules in almost 40% of cases. For detecting loose bodies, computed tomography is extremely useful; moreover, high-resolution computed tomography detects bodies even smaller than 1 mm.23 MRI may show fluid collection, increased vascularity, partial disc displacement, and changes in disc morphology.24
CT and MR findings in synovial chondromatosis of the temporo-mandibular joint: Our experience and review of literature
2011, European Journal of RadiologySynovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint with condylar extension
2006, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology and EndodontologyCitation Excerpt :The diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis is frequently problematic and is made based on clinical symptoms as well as radiographic and histological findings. CT findings of synovial chondromatosis include the presence of multiple, calcified, loose bodies in the joint space, widening of the joint space, irregular or sclerotic glenoid fossa, and bony changes of the skull base.12 The presence of loose bodies in the joint space is neither a universal finding nor diagnostic.13
Malocclusion associated with osteocartilaginous loose bodies of the temporomandibular joint
2005, Journal of the American Dental AssociationCitation Excerpt :In many cases, no radiographic changes are evident on plain images such as panoramic radiographs. Because the process is insidious and may go unnoticed for years, when such pathology is suspected, clinicians should use CT12–16 or magnetic resonance imaging16 as diagnostic tools. When loose bodies are smaller than 1 mm, they often are overlooked; therefore, a high-resolution CT scan will be more diagnostic than a regular CT scan.9
