Temporomandibular joint internal derangements: CT diagnosis

CA Helms, JB Vogler 3d, RB Morrish Jr, SM Goldman, RE Capra and E Proctor

Two hundred patients with suspected displaced temporomandibular joint meniscus were studied with computed tomography. In 75 cases confirmation of the CT diagnosis was subsequently obtained via surgery or arthrography; correlation was found in 73 cases (97%), with one false-negative and one false-positive examination. When meniscus displacement was graded as "mild," "moderate," or "severe," those cases diagnosed as moderate or severe were more likely to require surgery. The technique and interpretation of this technique is described; in most cases CT can replace arthrography in diagnosing displaced temporomandibular joint menisci.
