    Study Notes

    Paranasal Sinus Pathologies

    • Antroliths have a well-defined periphery and may have a smooth or irregular shape.
    • Antroliths' internal structure may vary in density from a barely perceptible radiopacity to an extremely radiopaque structure.
    • Mucoceles are an expanding, destructive lesion resulting from a blocked sinus ostium, often occurring in the ethmoidal and frontal sinuses.
    • Radiographic features of mucoceles include a change in the shape of the sinus, effects on surrounding structures, and symptoms due to blockage.
    • A mucocele can cause the radiopacification of the maxillary sinus, lacking a distinct border on a panoramic image.
    • Epithelial papilloma is a rare neoplasm occurring predominantly in men, usually in the ethmoidal or maxillary sinus, appearing as a homogeneous radiopaque mass.
    • Osteoma is the most common mesenchymal neoplasm in the paranasal sinuses, often occurring in the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses, with a lobulated or rounded shape and a sharply defined margin.
    • Malignant neoplasms of the paranasal sinuses, such as squamous cell carcinoma, are rare, comprising less than 1% of all malignancies in the body.
    • Squamous cell carcinoma may present with facial pain or swelling, nasal obstruction, and a lesion in the oral cavity, with a mean patient age of 60 years and a male-to-female ratio of 2:1.
    • Factors contributing to a poor prognosis for cancer of the paranasal sinuses include the advanced stage of the disease when diagnosed and the close proximity of vital anatomic structures.
    • Clinical signs and symptoms of malignant neoplasms may masquerade as inflammatory sinusitis, with lesions possibly appearing as a soft tissue mass in the sinus before causing bone destruction.
    • Unexplained radiopacity in the maxillary sinus of an individual older than 40 years should be thoroughly investigated, as it may indicate a malignancy.

    Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: Radiographic Features and Treatment

    • Chondrocalcinosis characterized by calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in joints, more common in males, affects knee, wrist, shoulder, and elbow, may be asymptomatic or cause pain and joint swelling
    • Effusion results from trauma, causing joint swelling and pain in TMJ, associated with widened joint space
    • Dislocation leads to abnormal condyle positioning, may require manual manipulation or surgery
    • Fractures, common at condylar neck, cause swelling, limited range of motion, and require surgical reduction
    • Neonatal fractures from forceps delivery may result in condyle displacement and mandibular hypoplasia, treated with orthodontic and orthognathic surgery
    • Ankylosis limits jaw movement, with joint space narrowed or obliterated, diagnosed through coronal CT images
    • Tumors in TMJ may be benign (osteoma, osteochondroma) or malignant (chondrosarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma), causing swelling, pain, and limited range of motion
    • Benign tumors and cysts may involve entire ramus and condyle, while malignant tumors can be primary (intrinsic or extrinsic) or metastatic
    • Malignant tumors include chondrosarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and metastatic lesions from various primary tumors
    • Radiographic features for malignant tumors include bone destruction with ill-defined, irregular margins, CT and MRI are useful for diagnosis
    • Treatment for tumors may involve surgical excision, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy
