“…A review of the literature revealed a total of 10 articles [5, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] published between 2007 and 2017, with a total of 79 cases (59 female and 20 male patients) ( Table 3). The average age at diagnosis was 44.8 years (range 21-74 yrs).…”

Aim Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a benign condition that is characterized by the formation of cartilaginous nodules within the synovial tissue of a joint that may detach and form loose bodies inside the articular space. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of surgical arthroscopy for the treatment of SC of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Materials and Methods A series of six patients treated with arthroscopy (one patient requiring an open arthrotomy due to the size of the loose bodies) in our centre between 1997 and 2016 is presented and results are discussed. A systematic review of the literature of patients with SC treated with arthroscopy or arthroscopy-assisted open arthrotomy is also carried out. Results Pain, which was the main symptom in our patients, and maximum mouth opening both improved significantly after surgical treatment. Three of the patients were diagnosed with primary SC, and the other 3 had a previous diagnosis of internal derangement. None of the patients showed signs of relapse during the follow-up period. Conclusions Surgical arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the extraction of loose bodies and even partial synovectomy of the affected membrane with good results and without recurrence of the disease. This technique can be useful in cases of SC with loose bodies measuring less than 3 mm or without extra-articular extension.

“…In addition, it allowed us to indirectly detect some small non-calcified nodules which were overlooked by MRI. Li et al 15 also reported the usefulness of arthrography in SC of the TMJ. A more detailed picture of the cavity could be obtained using CBCT during TMJ arthrography, thanks to the high spatial resolution of CBCT.…”

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is very rare and can occur in either or both cavities. Differentiation of the affected cavity in SC is therefore as important as making the diagnosis. This report presents a case of SC in which both cavities were thought to be affected, but arthrography using cone beam CT (CBCT) allowed us to see that involvement was limited to the superior joint cavity. In addition, we describe the usefulness of arthrographic CBCT for diagnosis and treatment planning in SC of the TMJ.

Ultrasonographic and arthrographic diagnoses of synovial chondromatosis

Abstract: Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is rare in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Plain radiographs, CT, MRI and arthrography of the TMJ have been used for the diagnosis of SC. The purpose of this paper is to present ultrasonographic and arthrographic diagnoses of a case of SC of the TMJ.
