Abstract
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate tµµ distribution and frequency of temporomandibular joint(TMJ) effusion in magnetic resonance (MR) images of patients with disc displacements.
Materials and Methods : On T2 weighted MR images of 148 TMJ effusion, defined as an amount of fluid that exceeded the pain and dysfunction, we assessed the cases showing TMJ effusion, defined as an amount of fluid that exceeded the maximum amount seen in a control group of asymptomatic volunteers. The amount of TMJ fluid was graded as: ¥°(none or minimal), ¥± (moderate), ¥² (marked), and ¥³ (extensive), according to a standard set by a reference. Disc displacement categories were also recorded.
Results : Of the 148 TMJs examined in this study, 52 joints (35.1%) presented with joint effusion, 24 (16.2%) showing bilateral joint effusion, 38 joints showed upper joint space effusion, 3 showed lower join space effusion, and 11 showed both upper and lower joint space effusion. 96 joints (64.9%) had grade ¥° joint fluid, 27 (18.2%) grade ¥±, 15 (10.1%) grade ¥², and 10 (6.8%) grade ¥³. 80.0% of the joints presenting with grade ¥³ effusion showed disc displacement without reduction.
Conclusion : Joint effusion was found not only in upper, but also in lower joint spaces. The higher the effusion grade, the greater the frequency of disc displacement without reduction.
