The basic aim of this review was to retrospectively study the role of imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging, in the diagnosis of submandibular duct (SMD) orifice atresia.
From a literature review, data were collected from previously reported cases of imaged SMD atresia and from the present case.
Five images, 4 from the literature and 1 magnetic resonance image from our case, were obtained to illustrate the singular appearance of SMD orifice atresia.
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study, using a review of the literature concerning SMD orifice atresia, to call specific attention to the role imaging plays in illustrating the pathognomonic presence of the uniquely dilated and segmented salivary duct seen in SMD orifice atresia.
本综述的基本目的是回顾性研究影像学，尤其是磁共振成像，在下颌下腺导管（SMD）开口闭锁诊断中的作用。
通过文献综述，收集先前报道的SMD闭锁影像学病例以及本病例的数据。
获取了5张图像，其中4张来自文献，1张来自本病例的磁共振图像，以说明SMD开口闭锁的独特表现。
据作者所知，这是第一项通过回顾有关SMD开口闭锁的文献，特别关注影像学在显示SMD开口闭锁中独特扩张和分段唾液腺导管的特征性表现方面所起作用的研究。
