Herein we present five cases of submasseteric abscess that most commonly occurred in patients with a history dental disease. CT has been the main imaging method for diagnosing lesions in the masticator space and adjacent to the mandible; however, we found that, in some of our cases, CT defined the lesion poorly or not at all. In some cases, MR imaging defined the lesion better. Radiologic manifestations of this condition and pathologic correlations are discussed.
在此,我们呈现5例咬肌下脓肿病例,这些病例最常发生于有牙科疾病史的患者。CT一直是诊断咀嚼肌间隙及下颌骨附近病变的主要影像学方法;然而,我们发现,在我们的一些病例中,CT对病变的界定不佳或根本无法界定。在某些病例中,磁共振成像(MR成像)对病变的界定更好。本文讨论了这种疾病的影像学表现及病理相关性。
