RADIOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION OF INFECTION & TRAUMA
Diagnostic imaging of maxillofacial and fascial space infections Anatomical extent of the process Surgically drainable abscesses and
fluid collections Demonstrating and assessing
associated complications
Plain film examination
• Periapical X ray• Panoramic radiograph : odntogentic
infection• Anteroposterior and lateral view : cervical soft tissue (airway)
submandibular, parapharyngeal, retropharyngeal space (airway compromise)
Periapical X ray
Abscess adjacent to primary tooth
Anatomic location
Caries and periapical lesion
牙周病 除了牙周病外,尚有何種疾病 ?
pericoronitis
Preoperative clinical aspects. Proptotic left globe, periorbital swelling preventing spontaneous opening of the eye, subconjunctival ecchymosis, and impairment of ocular motility to the right side
CT scan in axial view. Maxillary sinus filled with pus. Close relationship between upper molar root apexes and maxillary sinus (C). Intraoral view of residual root of tooth #26 affected by extensive carious lesion (D).

• (A) Sublingual space (long black
arrow), submandibular space (long white arrow), mylohyoid muscle (star), hyoglossus muscle (black arrowhead). The root of the tongue is identified by the genioglossus (black circle) and the lingual septum (white arrowhead).
The lateral boundary of the submandibular space is formed by the fascial layers on the medial margin of the platysma muscle (dashed white arrow).
• (C) Inset: schematic of coronal plane through the oral cavity. The shaded purple area illustrates the horseshoe shaped configuration of the submandibular space and the bilateral continuity of the space ventral to the mylohyoid and anterior belly of the digastric muscles.
• (B) Coronal CT view at the level of the oral cavity. Sublingual space (long black arrow), submandibular space (long white arrow), mylohyoid muscle (star), genioglossus (black circle), and the lingual septum (white arrowhead), platysma muscle (dashed white arrow), buccinator muscle (curved arrow).
• Schematic diagram of the relationship of the tooth roots to the sublingual, submandibular, and buccal spaces. Infection extending through the lingual cortex from premolar and molar teeth will involve the sublingual space, whereas infection from molar teeth will involve the submandibular space.
• Submandibular space abscess or phlegmon. Axial contrast-enhanced CT (A) shows a large fluid collection within the right submandibular space (arrow), with thickening of the buccinator muscle on the lateral aspect of the mandible and stranding in the subcutaneous tissues representing myositis and cellulits respectively.
(B) Axial bone CT shows an endodontically treated (root canal) second molar root with apical periodontitis (C).
Ludwigs angina
Ludwigs angina• Acute respiratory
distress. Axial (A) and coronal (B) contrast-enhanced CTs demonstrate extensive edema and soft tissue thickening of the tongue, sublingual, and submandibular space seen clinically as angioedema, cellulitis, and hematoma. A calcification lies within the genioglossus muscle (arrow), representing either a foreign body or displaced sialolith and is the likely initiating factor.

MRI
Sialolithiasis• Sialolithiasis. (A) Axial
contrast-enhanced CT. Calcified sialolith in Wharton's duct at the junction of the superficial lobe with the deep lobe of the submandibular gland. (B) Axial contrast-enhanced CT from the same patient in A. The black arrow points to a thickened and enhancing wall of the dilated submandibular duct..
Sialolithiasis• (C) Contrast-enhanced
axial T1-weighted MRI of a different patient demonstrating a calcified sialolith in left Wharton's duct (arrow). (D) Axial T2 weighted MRI of the same patient in C showing the sialolith with surrounding fluid (arrow). The actual size of this stone was approximately 20% smaller than measured on the MRIs. Size inaccuracies for sialoliths generally would only affect sialoendoscopic or interventional retrieval or lithotripsy.
