Hiperpneumatização do processo mastóide do osso temporal: relato de caso
Abstract
O presente trabalho apresenta um caso de hiperpneumatização do osso temporal detectado em uma paciente do sexo feminino, 23 anos, saudável, que compareceu a clínica de Radiologia para um exame radiográfico de rotina. A radiografia panorâmica revelou imagens radiolúcidas bilaterais envolvendo a região correspondente às eminências articulares. Exames tomográficos convencional e computadorizado foram solicitados, adicionalmente, com objetivo de confirmação diagnóstica da hiperpneumatização. Um ano após o exame inicial, foi realizada nova tomada radiográfica panorâmica, que revelou estabilidade dimensional das imagens.
UNITERMOS: radiologia; osso temporal; radiografia panorâmica; tomografia computadorizada.
SUMMARY
The present work reports a case of hyperpneumatization of temporal bone, detected in a healthy 23 year-old female patient, who had made an appointment for a routine radiographic examination. Panoramic radiography revealed bilateral radiolucent images in the articular eminence area. Conventional and computed tomography examinations were additionally performed with the purpose of confirmation of the diagnosis of hyperpneumatization of temporal bone. One year later, another panoramic radiography was taken, which revealed dimensional stability of the radiolucent areas.
