Objective: To evaluate whether morphological discrepancy between the mandibular condyle and fossa of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is related to disk displacement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Study Design: This study included 61 patients with unilateral internal derangement based on both MRI and clinical examination. Coronal morphologies of the condyle and fossa were divided into four groups based on Öberg's classification. According to the coronal morphology of the condyle and fossa, all joints were dichotomized into either harmonized group or a discrepancy group (e.g., angled condyle and concave fossa). The incidence of discrepancy and the relationship of the discrepancy to other findings on MRI were statistically evaluated.
Results: The discrepancy had a significantly higher incidence on the affected side. The discrepancy correlated with incidence of disk deformity on the affected side.
Conclusion: Morphological discrepancy between the condyle and fossa is related to development of anterior disk displacement in the TMJ.

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most common type of cancer in the world. Metastases occur in up to 40 % of cases and bones are the second most frequent site. Metastases in extremities are uncommon with very few publications covering distal lower-limb bone metastasis.

Background: The skull base ligaments have been extensively studied in the literature due to their clinical and surgical significance. The posterior petroclinoid fold (PPCNF) and petroclival ligament (PCVL) are two adjacent structures that have barely been studied and are frequently confused. The present study uses an innovative classification system to investigate the PPCNF and PCVL ossification patterns.

Introduction: This study aimed to develop a deep learning-based method for interpreting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) anterior disc displacement (ADD) and to formulate an automated diagnostic system for clinical practice.
Methods: The deep learning models were utilized to identify regions of interest (ROI), segment TMJ structures including the articular disc, condyle, glenoid fossa, and articular tubercle, and classify TMJ ADD. The models employed Grad-CAM heatmaps and segmentation annotation diagrams for visual diagnostic predictions and were deployed for clinical application.

Article Synopsis
- Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant tumor located in the head and neck region, specifically affecting the skull base in this case.
- The tumor significantly involved various anatomical areas, including the sphenoid sinus and pterygopalatine fossa.
- The treatment involved surgery for removal, reconstruction of the site, and postoperative radiotherapy, leading to a positive outcome for the patient.
