Stafne bone cavities are asymptomatic radiolucencies seen at the angle of the mandible. Although plain films are often sufficient for diagnosis, confirmatory imaging is needed in atypical cases. We describe the MR imaging findings of a Stafne bone cavity, describe the contents, explain why a new name is needed, and discuss the relative merits of different radiologic techniques for establishing this diagnosis.
斯丹夫骨腔是在下颌角处发现的无症状性透射区。虽然平片通常足以诊断，但非典型病例需要进行确诊性成像检查。我们描述了一例斯丹夫骨腔的磁共振成像表现，描述了其内容物，解释了为何需要一个新名称，并讨论了不同放射学技术在确立该诊断方面的相对优势。
