Background: Infections of odontogenic origin are the most common cause of inflammatory disease of head and neck region. Computed tomography allows for defining localization and extent of inflammatory lesions, visualizes soft tissue involvement, presence of an abscess or an osteolytic lesion around causative tooth. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO ASSESS PATHWAYS, BY WHICH ODONTOGENIC INFECTIONS SPREAD INTO RESPECTIVE DEEP HEAD AND NECK STRUCTURES IN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY EXAMINATION, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: frequency of involvement of respective deep cervical spaces, possibility to determine a probable causative tooth and concordance with the results of clinical examination.

Material And Methods: The clinical material included 40 children of both genders, aged 2 to 35 months. The authors analysed the results of diagnostic imaging examinations (myelography in 20 cases and magnetic resonance [MR] myelography in 20 cases), intraoperative view and clinical course.
Background: Cherubism is an uncommon hereditary benign fibro-osseous disorder characterized by bilateral enlargement of the mandible and the maxilla that presents with varying degrees of involvement and a tendency toward spontaneous remission. On radiography cherubic lesions appear as cystic multilocular radiolucencies limited to the jaw bones.
Case Report: A 5-year-old boy was referred to the Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery due to deformation of the lower and middle section of the face and displacement or absence of teeth.
Background: Asymptomatic central nervous system involvement may occur in the early stages of the HIV infection. The aim of the study was to evaluate early brain metabolic changes by means of proton MR spectroscopy (H1MRS) in the HIV-1 seropositive patients without neurological deficits or significant abnormalities in the plain MR study.
Material/methods: The H1MRS examinations were performed with the use of a MR GE Signa 1,5T system.
Background: CT-angiography is a non-invasive method, alternative to cerebral angiography in the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms. The aim of the study was the assessment of the efficiency of CT-angiography in a large material, which has been mostly verified with angiography and/or surgery.
Material/methods: CT-angiography was performed in 196 patients with intracranial bleeding.
