A case of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition arthropathy of the temporomandibular joint is reported. The patient presented a 10-year history of swelling and pain of the left preauricular region. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a calcified mass filling the joint space and destroying the roof of the joint. Radiographs showed chondrocalcinosis of other joints. The authors discuss the diagnosis of this arthropathy and the reason why the temporomandibular joint is more affected than the other joints in the patient reported.
本文报告了一例颞下颌关节二水焦磷酸钙(CPPD)晶体沉积性关节病的病例。该患者有左耳前区肿胀和疼痛10年的病史。磁共振成像显示一个钙化肿块充满关节间隙并破坏关节顶部。X线片显示其他关节有软骨钙质沉着症。作者讨论了这种关节病的诊断以及在该病例中颞下颌关节比其他关节受累更严重的原因。
