“…On MR images a LM typically presents as a mass with low or intermediate signal intensity on T1 sequence and high signal intensity on T2 sequence. Infrequently a LM may appear hyperintense on T1 suquence, a finding associated with clotted blood or lipid content within the lesion [9,10]. In the current case, MRI depicted a septated lesion of heterogeneous signal intensity.…”

Lymphatic malformations-previously called lymphangiomas or cystic hygromas-are regarded as nonmalignant primary disorders of the lymphatic system. They appear predominantly in infants and children, with 90 % of cases being diagnosed by the age of 2 years. Also, they constitute an infrequent entity, accounting for 5 % of all benign tumors in infants and children. In adults they are extremely rare. In the present article we present an extraordinary case of a lymphatic malformation that ensued in the temporal area of a 15-year old adolescent.

“…In contrast the retained pus which does not contain flowing blood cells is delineated as no color flow signal. This property of Doppler ultrasonography allows it to differentiate blood vessels from static regions of images [25,27]. Venous malformations appear as hypo echoic or heterogeneous lesions in 80 % of cases.…”

Maxillofacial surgery, like any other surgical specialty is greatly dependent on the discipline of radiology. This poses a greater challenge because of the complex anatomy of this region. Various investigation modalities have been applied in diagnosing various diseases which are found in the maxillofacial region, including IOPA, PET, USG, CT, MRI and panoramic radiographs. Of these, USG can easily diagnose non invasive and soft tissue diseases. It is very useful in diagnosing the diseases which are not usually evident on a conventional radiograph. However; many of the dentists are not aware of the benefits of USG in diagnosis of oral diseases. In this article, the use of ultrasound in diagnosing the various pathologies of maxillofacial region is elaborated.

“…Although the use of conventional computed tomography (CT) is well established in oral surgery (Gold et al, 2003), three-dimensional (3D) CT imaging can provide particularly useful information that may assist in diagnosis and planning of treatment strategies (Ferrario et al, 1996). Furthermore, computational simulations that include 3D image processing and biomechanical calculations show promise as useful tools for orthodontic research and assist in clinical decision-making (Maki et al, 2003).…”
