Use of computed tomography in the localization of head-and-neck-space infections

OEvaluation of Ultrasonography as a Diagnostic Tool in Maxillofacial Space Infections

“…Therefore some regions of maxillofacial field cannot be evaluated by ultrasound, such as the retropharyngeal region and paranasal sinuses. No echoes are returned by fluids and thus USG is very sensitive in detecting fluid collections as in case of maxillofacial infections [14]. …”

Chronic Dental Infections Mimicking Temporomandibular Disorders

“…Thus, a CT scan is a reliable diagnostic tool for identifying such underlying pathology in these trismic cases. 1,4,5,8…”

“…Computerized tomography (CT) scans may help to elucidate a latent disease. 1,4,5 In this paper, we present two cases of chronic dental infection initially diagnosed and treated as TMD.…”

Massive Orofacial Abscesses of Dental Origin

“…Computed tomog.. raphy provides comprehensive information with respect to 1) the location and extent of the inflammatory process, [9][10][11] 2) the state of infection, ie, cellulitis versus abscess formation;" 3) evaluation of areas difficult to examine owing to location of the infection, ie, pterygoid area, and 4) clinical conditions that preclude adequate visualization, such as trismus.…”
