Three male patients with psoriatic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were evaluated by computerized tomography (CT). Only one patient showed changes of the mandibular condyle on the panoramic view, which failed to show the condition in the other 2 patients. All 3 had normal conventional radiographs of the affected TMJ. In all 3 cases the high resolution CT scan demonstrated significant changes of the mandibular condyle and glenoid fossa, which were consistent with the clinical diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis of the TMJ.
三名患有颞下颌关节(TMJ)银屑病关节炎的男性患者接受了计算机断层扫描(CT)评估。仅一名患者在全景片上显示出下颌髁突的改变,另外两名患者未显示该情况。所有3名患者受影响的颞下颌关节常规X线片均正常。在所有3例病例中,高分辨率CT扫描均显示下颌髁突和关节窝有明显改变,这与颞下颌关节银屑病关节炎的临床诊断相符。
