Abstract:
Hyperplasia of the coronoid process is a rare alteration that is characterized by the exaggerated and progressive development of said process over periods of months or years, both in height and volume, which finally causes mandibular hypomobility. It is important to highlight the importance of imaging for the correct diagnosis and treatment of said entity, taking into consideration the great variety of differential diagnoses that can occur. In this sense, conventional radiographs constitute a basic and indispensable tool for approaching the diagnosis. However, it is actually the CT scan that offers the greatest precision. The case of a 14-year-old male patient is presented, with no contributing medical history, who was referred for presenting progressive opening limitation since childhood, for which, after clinical and imaging evaluation, he was treated with total bilateral coronoidectomy, postoperative follow-up was performed. for a year in which recurrence of said entity could be observed. This case demonstrates the importance of correct diagnosis, as well as postoperative control and the rehabilitation scheme carried out by the patient.
摘要:
冠状突增生是一种罕见的改变,其特征是所述过程在数月或数年的时间内发生了夸张和渐进的发展。在高度和体积上,这最终会导致下颌缺乏症。重要的是强调成像对于正确诊断和治疗所述实体的重要性。考虑到可能发生的各种鉴别诊断。在这个意义上,传统的射线照片构成了接近诊断的基本和不可缺少的工具。然而,它实际上是CT扫描提供了最大的精度。介绍了一名14岁男性患者的病例,没有贡献的病史,他因从小就提出渐进式开放限制而被推荐,为此,经过临床和影像学评估,他接受了双侧冠状动脉全切除术,术后随访.可以观察到该实体复发的一年。这个病例证明了正确诊断的重要性,以及病人进行的术后控制和康复计划。
