[Value of modern imagery in the study of coronoido-malar malformations. Apropos of 2 cases]

We report two cases of mechanical limitation of buccal opening. CT scanning of bone anomalies diagnosed on standard radiography allowed to define malformation of the coronoid piston on the one hand, and the temporo-malar groove on the other: a combination of Langenbeck's and Jacob's disease in one case and Langenbeck's disease in the other. Coronoidectomy, systematically bilateral, demonstrated these morphological anomalies together with formation of coronoido-malar neo-arthrosis.
