Radiological manifestations of renal osteodystrophy in the orofacial region: a case report and literature review

Meng You et al. Oral Radiol. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a metabolic skeletal pathology that frequently affects the orofacial region and presents with characteristic radiological manifestations. This paper reports a case of ROD causing diffused orofacial bone alterations in a female patient with end-stage chronic kidney disease. The radiological features on panoramic, posteroanterior and lateral skull and computed tomography radiographs are described for this case. Previous reports in the literature are reviewed and discussed with a focus on radiological characteristics and differential diagnoses.

Keywords: Oral and maxillofacial manifestations; Radiological diagnosis; Renal osteodystrophy.
