“…There are several types of mandibular braiding: congenital or hereditary, such as hemifacial microsomia, functional lateral mandibular deviation, as seen in maxillary dental stenosis, growth suppression, or condylar hyperplasia due to condylar injury [ 2 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. In this study, we excluded the cases of deviation due to congenital diseases.…”

“…The etiology of facial asymmetry includes congenital disorders, acquired diseases, and traumatic and developmental deformities. Since remodeling by endochondral ossification of the condyle and addition of bone are the major growth contributors to the mandible, infection or failure of the condylar cartilage is also believed to induce asymmetry [ 2 ]. It is also known that muscle activity affects facial asymmetry, with cases with unilateral posterior crossbite differing between crossbite and non-crossbite sides.…”

Comparison of Mandibular Volume and Linear Measurements in Patients with Mandibular Asymmetry

In patients with mandibular asymmetry, the volume of the mandible divided by the mandibular median plane is significantly larger on the non-deviated (N-Dev) side than on the deviated (Dev) side. However, it has been reported that there is no significant difference between the volumes of the N-Dev and Dev sides when the mandibular ramus and body are divided. The purpose of this study was to investigate which region is responsible for the volume difference between the N-Dev and Dev sides. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images of patients with mandibular asymmetry were analyzed by measuring the volume, and linear analysis of the mandibular body, ramus, and condyle on the N-Dev and Dev side was performed. In this study, CBCT images of 37 patients (8 Japanese, 16 Korean, and 13 Egyptian) aged ≥ 18 years with mandibular asymmetry (men: 20, women: 17) were used to evaluate mandibular asymmetry. In patients with mandibular asymmetry, the N-Dev side showed significantly larger values than the Dev side for both volume and linear condyle, ramus, and mandibular body measurements. These results do not differ according to sex or ethnicity. Therefore, it is suggested that the N-Dev side of mandibular asymmetry is large without any regional specificity in pathophysiology.

“…This may be due to the examination of all lymph nodes regardless of the duration of lymph node enlargement, resulting in a high incidence of inflammatory characteristics (87.18%). In his 20-year study, Gallesio et al [11] also reported a relatively low incidence, 21%. Our investigation revealed that the age group 15 to 24 years comprised 40% of all cases.…”

“…Wide differential diagnoses for cervical lymphadenopathy make it difficult for the clinician to arrive at a definitive diagnosis and treatment. Developed nations and the majority of developing nations have experienced a decline in pulmonary tuberculosis for several decades, as a result of improved economic and social conditions and the DOTS programme [8,9,10,11]. With the emergence of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome epidemic, it is now evident that extra-pulmonary manifestations account for the majority of new cases.…”

Background :India has the highest incidence of tuberculosis in the globe, with twenty percent of cases. In India, tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most prevalent extrapulmonary variant of tuberculosis. The purpose of this study is to share our knowledge regarding tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis. Methods:This hospital-based prospective investigation was conducted for one year in the Department of General Surgery at MRMCH, Daltonganj. All cases of neck edoema or cervical lymphadenitis selected for the study were initially treated conservatively with antibiotics and evaluated after two weeks. If the neck edoema persists, FNAC, USG, and occasionally a biopsy is performed. Results :Out of 120 study cases, infectious or inflammatory aetiology was observed in 47.5%, tuberculous lymphadenopathy in 33.333%, metastatic nodes in 13.335%, lymphoma in 1.67%, and non-specific lymphadenitis in 4.17 % of cases. A clinico-epidemiological analysis of 40 cases of tuberculous lymphadenopathy revealed that those between the ages of 15 and 24 were most frequently affected. 68% of the cases were female and 32% were male. 15 cases out of 28 that were older than 15 years old were illiterate. Level V cervical lymph nodes were most commonly involved. Ultrasonography of tuberculous lymph nodes revealed hypoechogenicity and necrosis in all cases, matted lymph nodes in forty percent of cases, calcifications in twenty-seven percent of cases, and pointed margins in sixty-seven percent of cases. Tests for tuberculin were only positive in 73% of cases. Conclusion:In developing nations like India, there is a high prevalence of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis among patients with enlarged neck lymph nodes. Adenopathy of the cervical lymph nodes is the most prevalent manifestation of the extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis. Therefore, it is essential that otolaryngologists are aware of tuberculosis in the head and neck region, which can aid in early diagnosis with the assistance of simple investigations, allowing patients to be promptly and effectively treated.
