Evaluation of the lateral pterygoid muscle using magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract: Patients with TMD can present with alterations in the LPM thickness. Patients without TMD also showed alterations, such as atrophy and contracture, in TMJ images. Recognition of alterations in the LPM will improve our understanding of clinical symptoms and pathophysiology of TMD, and may lead to a more specific diagnosis of these disorders.

“…1 The lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) is directly attached to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and is one of the key muscles in the physiology of mastication, participating in opening, closing, lateral and protrusive mandibular movements. 2 The LPM consists of two parts, the superior head (SH) and inferior head (IH). Some fibers from the SH may insert into the anterior portion of the articular capsule and articular disc of the TMJ.…”

“…The technique is able to provide morphological and positional information of the articular disc through high resolution images of soft tissue without exposing patients to radiation. [2][3][4][5] Although the LPM has been extensively studied in recent years, its anatomy and physiological and clinical implications are not fully understood. 4 The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between articular disc position and area measurements of the SH and IH of the LPM using MR imaging.…”
