Simple bone cyst of the mandibular condyle with severe osteoarthritis: report of a case

Abstract

bone cyst of the mandibular condyle with severe osteoarthritis: report of a case. A rare case of simple bone cyst in the mandibular condyle of a 33-year-old woman is reported. The condition was difficult to diagnose because the cyst was accompanied by severe osteoarthritis. T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) simple bone cyst; temporomandibular joint images revealed a cystic lesion with intermediate signal intensity within the condylar head and an irregular margin with intermediate signal intensity on the superior surface of the condyle. The patient was treated by high condylectomy, Shimoaizuki, Matsuoka, Fukui, 910-1193, discectomy and reconstruction by sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Histopathologi-Japan cal examination showed a simple bone cyst in the condylar head and erosion of the anterior articular surface due to degenerative changes.

Simple Bone Cyst of the Mandibular Condyle in a Child: Report of a Case

“…1 It is rarely found in the condyle, with only 14 previously reported cases to the authors' knowledge. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The present report has described an additional case of a simple bone cyst in this region.…”

Bony window approach for a traumatic bone cyst on the mandibular condyle: a case report with long-term follow-up

“…Beasley7 reported that only about 25% of TBC cases were related to trauma. When TBC occurs in the mandibular condyle, it might be related with temporomandibular joint disorders, and the patients often complain of joint pain, discomfort, or noise8. According to the traumahemorrhage theory of Olech et al9, it is presumed that an intraosseous hematoma occurs as a result of mild trauma, not strong enough to cause a bone fracture.…”

“…TBC is asymptomatic in most cases, but it can cause pain, tooth hypersensitivity, or expansion of the cortical bone in rare cases568. When it is detected in a tooth-bearing area or the body or symphysis of the mandible, differential diagnosis between odontogenic and non-odontogenic cysts is difficult11.…”

Quiste óseo simple de cóndilo mandibular

“…Algunos autores proponen que el principal problema del QOS condilar es la morbilidad inherente al abordaje quirúrgico que puede ser solucionado con una cirugía mínimamente invasiva a través de un procedimiento asistido con endoscopia. Este proceso se ha demostrado efectivo 13 . La endoscopia permite al cirujano localizar el sitio de la biopsia con seguridad 13 .…”

“…Este proceso se ha demostrado efectivo 13 . La endoscopia permite al cirujano localizar el sitio de la biopsia con seguridad 13 . La técnica endoscópica intraoral proporciona buena visibilidad y acceso al cóndilo mandibular, permite un tratamiento definitivo de lesiones centrales, elimina la necesidad de un abordaje extraoral y reduce el potencial de morbilidad del nervio facial y de la glándula parótida 4 .…”
