Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints01:03

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints

Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and minimal to no movement between the articulating bones. There are three types of fibrous joints.
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification01:29

Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification

Intramembranous ossification is one of the two processes involved in the development of bones within an embryo. The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles are formed via this process. During intramembranous ossification, the bones develop directly from sheets of undifferentiated mesenchymal connective tissue.
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Oral Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Simple bone cysts (SBCs), also known as traumatic bone cysts, are benign, fluid-filled cavities in bone, most common in the jaws of young individuals.
  • SBCs typically present as solitary radiolucencies but can occur concurrently with fibro-osseous lesions, complicating diagnosis.
  • The radiographic appearance of SBCs can be mistaken for other jaw cysts, benign tumors, or cemento-osseous dysplasia.

Observation:

  • This case report details a patient with three simultaneous SBCs within the mandible, presenting with varied radiographic features.
  • One lesion was multilocular, while two periapical lesions mimicked focal or periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia.
  • Initial differential diagnoses included more aggressive benign jaw lesions.

Findings:

  • Biopsy confirmed SBCs in all three mandibular locations.
  • Minimal surgical intervention led to initial recovery, but recurrence was noted in the premolar-molar region after two years.
  • Recurrence confirmed as a simple bone cyst, with coexisting benign cemento-osseous dysplasia considered.

Implications:

  • The varied presentation of SBCs necessitates a thorough differential diagnosis, including fibro-osseous lesions.
  • Recurrence of SBCs is possible, requiring long-term monitoring.
  • Understanding the potential coexistence of SBCs and cemento-osseous dysplasia is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
