Progressive condylar resorption is a dysfunctional remodeling of the temporomandibular joint of unknown origin. It usually manifests in young girls and causes reduced ramus height, loss of condylar volume, steep mandibular angle, limited jaw motion, and pain. On magnetic resonance imaging, the condition is associated with anterior disc displacement with or without reduction. This article discusses imaging features of progressive condylar resorption that cause severe temporomandibular joint degenerative changes, emphasizing the careful evaluation of imaging changes of the temporomandibular joint in young female patients. The early diagnosis of progressive condylar resorption helps to reduce the further progression of the condition.
进行性髁突吸收是一种病因不明的颞下颌关节功能失调性重塑。它通常在年轻女性中出现，会导致下颌升支高度降低、髁突体积减小、下颌角变陡、下颌运动受限及疼痛。在磁共振成像上，该病症与伴或不伴复位的关节盘前移位有关。本文讨论了导致严重颞下颌关节退行性改变的进行性髁突吸收的影像学特征，强调对年轻女性患者颞下颌关节影像学改变的仔细评估。进行性髁突吸收的早期诊断有助于减少病情的进一步发展。
