Cranial Bones: Lateral View

2.2K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Reduction malarplasty slightly reduces the space between the coronoid process and zygoma, potentially impacting mouth opening. However, significant osseous impingement is rare after this cosmetic surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Reduction malarplasty can cause limited mouth opening due to zygomatic complex displacement.
  • This displacement may lead to impingement on the coronoid process, restricting jaw movement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the spatial relationship between the coronoid process and zygomatic complex post-reduction malarplasty.
  • To investigate the impact of reduction malarplasty on mouth opening complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 159 female patients undergoing reduction malarplasty.
  • Radiological measurements of coronoid-condylar index and zygomatic complex distances before and after surgery.
  • Assessment of temporal and masseter muscle thickness and density.

Main Results:

  • Post-reduction malarplasty, distances between the coronoid process and zygoma decreased by approximately 1-4 mm.
  • No significant changes were noted in temporal and masseter muscle dimensions.
  • The coronoid-condylar index averaged 1:1.4, with a wide range observed.

Conclusions:

  • Reduction malarplasty results in a minor reduction in the coronoid process-zygoma distance.
  • Proximity between the coronoid process and zygomatic arch increases post-surgery.
  • Osseous impingement causing restricted mouth opening is uncommon after standard reduction malarplasty.
