The pneumatized articular eminence of the temporal bone is a radiographic finding without clinical signs. Uni- or multi-locular, this radiolucent defect is often unilateral; it affects equally both sexes. The routine use of panoramic radiographs should probably allow a more frequent discovery than before. No treatment is needed. These defects can jeopardize some surgical operations upon the temporomandibular apparatus.
颞骨气化性关节结节是一种无临床症状的影像学表现。这种透亮性缺损可为单房或多房，通常为单侧性；男女发病率相同。全景X线片的常规使用可能会使这种情况比以往更频繁地被发现。无需治疗。这些缺损可能会对颞下颌关节的一些外科手术造成影响。
