A group of patients with a myogenous origin of craniomandibular disorders was found to show a variation of condylar asymmetry with age. The curve obtained by plotting patient age against their asymmetry index was parabolic in nature. This differed from a group of patients with an arthrogenous origin of pain, where a linear correlation with age, with a negative slope, had previously been found. The mean asymmetry index for this group of patients was found to be 23.77%. This is higher than that reported for a group of patients with a craniomandibular disorder of arthrogenous origin, namely 18.76%. It appears that these two groups differ in the variation of condylar asymmetry with age..
一组源于肌源性的颅下颌关节紊乱症患者被发现髁突不对称情况随年龄有所变化。通过绘制患者年龄与不对称指数得到的曲线本质上呈抛物线状。这与一组源于关节源性疼痛的患者不同，此前已发现该组患者年龄与不对称指数呈负斜率的线性关系。该组患者的平均不对称指数为23.77%。这高于一组源于关节源性的颅下颌关节紊乱症患者所报告的指数，即18.76%。这两组患者在髁突不对称随年龄变化方面似乎存在差异。
