Imaging characteristics of a Stafne bone cavity--panoramic radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging

Florian Andreas Probst et al. Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2014 Sep.

Abstract

Introduction: A rare case of Stafne bone cavity (SBC) with salivary gland herniation confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is described.

Results: It was diagnosed in a 72-year-old male patient. Surgical intervention was avoided. The report highlights imaging findings of panoramic radiography, computed tomography, and especially magnetic resonance tomography.

Conclusion: It is demonstrated that employment of MRI for further evaluation of suspicion of SBC on panoramic radiographs can be a helpful diagnostic tool.
