  • The Myloglossus in a Human Cadaver Study: Common Or Uncommon Anatomical Structure? B
    Folia Morphol. Vol. 76, No. 1, pp. 74–81 DOI: 10.5603/FM.a2016.0044 O R I G I N A L A R T I C L E Copyright © 2017 Via Medica ISSN 0015–5659 www.fm.viamedica.pl The myloglossus in a human cadaver study: common or uncommon anatomical structure? B. Buffoli*, M. Ferrari*, F. Belotti, D. Lancini, M.A. Cocchi, M. Labanca, M. Tschabitscher, R. Rezzani, L.F. Rodella Section of Anatomy and Physiopathology, Department of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy [Received: 1 June 2016; Accepted: 18 July 2016] Background: Additional extrinsic muscles of the tongue are reported in literature and one of them is the myloglossus muscle (MGM). Since MGM is nowadays considered as anatomical variant, the aim of this study is to clarify some open questions by evaluating and describing the myloglossal anatomy (including both MGM and its ligamentous counterpart) during human cadaver dissections. Materials and methods: Twenty-one regions (including masticator space, sublin- gual space and adjacent areas) were dissected and the presence and appearance of myloglossus were considered, together with its proximal and distal insertions, vascularisation and innervation. Results: The myloglossus was present in 61.9% of cases with muscular, ligamen- tous or mixed appearance and either bony or muscular insertion. Facial artery pro- vided myloglossal vascularisation in the 84.62% and lingual artery in the 15.38%; innervation was granted by the trigeminal system (buccal nerve and mylohyoid nerve), sometimes (46.15%) with hypoglossal component. Conclusions: These data suggest us to not consider myloglossus as a rare ana- tomical variant.

The growth and development of facial bones are closely related to each other. The present study investigated the differences in the nasomaxillary and mandibular morphology among different skeletal patterns. Cephalograms of 240 participants were divided into 3 groups based on the skeletal pattern (Class I, Class II, and Class III). The dimensions of nasomaxilla (nasal bone length, nasal ridge length, nasal depth, palatal length, and maxillary height) and mandible (condylar length, ramus length, body length, symphysis length, and entire mandibular length) were measured. One-way analysis of variance and Pearson’s correlation test were used for statistical analysis.

Methods: ninety patients (64 women, 26 men; mean age: 39.36 ± 15.40 years), including 45 patients with symptoms of TMD after whiplash injury (wTMD), and 45 age- and sex- matched controls with TMD due to idiopathic causes (iTMD) were included. TMD was diagnosed using the study diagnostic criteria for TMD Axis I, and MRI findings of the TMJ and masticatory muscles were investigated. To evaluate the severity of TMD pain and muscle tenderness, we used a visual analog scale (VAS), palpation index (PI), and neck PI. Results: TMD indexes, including VAS, PI, and neck PI were significantly higher in the wTMD group. In the wTMD group, muscle tenderness was highest in the masseter muscle (71.1%), and muscle tenderness in the temporalis (60.0%), lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) (22.2%), and medial pterygoid muscle (15.6%) was significantly more frequent than that in the iTMD group (all p < 0.05).

  • Imaging of Mandibular Fractures: a Pictorial Review
    Nardi et al. Insights into Imaging (2020) 11:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13244-020-0837-0 Insights into Imaging EDUCATIONAL REVIEW Open Access Imaging of mandibular fractures: a pictorial review Cosimo Nardi1, Chiara Vignoli1, Michele Pietragalla1, Paolina Tonelli1, Linda Calistri1, Lorenzo Franchi2,3, Lorenzo Preda4,5* and Stefano Colagrande1 Abstract Mandibular fractures are among the most common maxillofacial fractures observed in emergency rooms and are mainly caused by road accidents. The clinical features of mandibular fractures include malocclusion and loss of mandibular function. Panoramic radiography is usually limited to isolated lesions, whereas computed tomography is the tool of choice for all other facial traumatic events. No reference standard classification system for the different types of mandibular fractures is defined. Therapeutic options include a conservative approach or surgical treatment based on the anatomic area and the severity of fracture. The main purpose of this pictorial review is to illustrate a practical description of the pathophysiology of mandibular fractures and describe both the imaging techniques to recognise them and the therapeutic indications. Keywords: Mandible, Condyle, Fracture, Trauma, Panoramic radiography Key points maxillofacial fractures varies according to geographical Mandibular fractures represent two thirds of all areas and socio-economic factors. The most common maxillofacial fractures. causes of maxillofacial fractures are road traffic accidents X-ray films, including panoramic radiography, are (40–42%), falls, assaults, sports, and work injuries [3]. usually limited to mild traumatic events. The average age of patients with mandibular fracture is Computed tomography is the tool of choice for the 38 years for men and 40 years for women [4].

  • Wesley E. Shankland,Ii, Dds, Ms
    American Academy of Craniofacial Pain: Case Study Page Page 1 of 10 CURRENT CASE STUDY PRESENTED BY WESLEY E. SHANKLAND,II, DDS, MS, History A 42 year-old female presents with the following chief complaint: “My jaws are killing me and I have headaches every day.” According to the patient, 9 months earlier, she was stopped at a traffic light, driving a Toyota Celica. She heard the sound of tires squealing and looked up to the right into her rearview mirror just in time to see a Dodge Caravan about to hit her car in the rear end. She braced herself and at the moment of impact, her c was propelled forward, forcing her body, in a relative fashion, posteriorly, towards the impact. The cervi portion of her neck struck the head rest, and then her body was thrown forward, finally stopped by the shoulder harness. She didn’t lose consciousness, although she was dazed for a short time. After getting out of the car, she h immediate headache, neck and low back pain. She was transported to the nearest hospital where she was examined and radiographs were taken of her cervical spine and lumbar region. The radiologist felt there w no abnormalities. The emergency room doctor couldn’t find any evidence of direct head trauma. Her diagnoses were: Cervical strain. She was given a prescription for Ibuprofen (600 mg every 6 hours for 10 days) and Flexeril (10 mg tid for 10 days) and told to see her family physician or return to the emergency room if she didn’t improve in a few days.

  • Computed Tomography of the Buccomasseteric Region: 1
    605 Computed Tomography of the Buccomasseteric Region: 1. Anatomy Ira F. Braun 1 The differential diagnosis to consider in a patient presenting with a buccomasseteric James C. Hoffman, Jr. 1 region mass is rather lengthy. Precise preoperative localization of the mass and a determination of its extent and, it is hoped, histology will provide a most useful guide to the head and neck surgeon operating in this anatomically complex region. Part 1 of this article describes the computed tomographic anatomy of this region, while part 2 discusses pathologic changes. The clinical value of computed tomography as an imaging method for this region is emphasized. The differential diagnosis to consider in a patient with a mass in the buccomas­ seteric region, which may either be developmental, inflammatory, or neoplastic, comprises a rather lengthy list. The anatomic complexity of this region, defined arbitrarily by the soft tissue and bony structures including and surrounding the masseter muscle, excluding the parotid gland, makes the accurate anatomic diagnosis of masses in this region imperative if severe functional and cosmetic defects or even death are to be avoided during treatment. An initial crucial clinical pathoanatomic distinction is to classify the mass as extra- or intraparotid. Batsakis [1] recommends that every mass localized to the cheek region be considered a parotid tumor until proven otherwise. Precise clinical localization, however, is often exceedingly difficult. Obviously, further diagnosis and subsequent therapy is greatly facilitated once this differentiation is made. Computed tomography (CT), with its superior spatial and contrast resolution, has been shown to be an effective imaging method for the evaluation of disorders of the head and neck.
