“…To evaluate these positional relationships, it is necessary to perform general tomography and/or CT. [25][26][27] Methods and software for preoperative MRI examinations have not yet been developed as they have for CT, and only a few studies on stent materials have been reported. 20 The accuracy of morphologic measurements of the crosssectional mandible on CT-reconstructed images is also high.…”

“…In general, two possible causes are considered for the increased thickness of the masseter muscle, that is, when a muscle is contracted, sliding of the muscle fiber filament, and an increase in fiber diameter cause thickening; another cause would be an edematous change in the muscle 11,12 …”

“…Exámenes complementarios de gran ayuda son el TAC y la resonancia nuclear magnética. 4 En relación al tratamiento, existen diversas publicaciones que proponen la resección de la exostosis angular (en caso de presentarse) con miotomía parcial del masetero, independiente del acceso elegido, 5-10 en donde los resultados son satisfactorios, no existiendo reportes de recidiva, como lo reafirma nuestro caso luego de 6 años de realizada la intervención. Producto de la exéresis de una porción de mús-culo masetero, además de la pérdida de masa muscular, una parte de las fibras que formaban parte de dicha porción se atrofian, provocando el resultado esperado.…”
