Reason: Right TMJ h/o MRI >1year ago indicating condylar head resorption History: pain No bone marrow signal abnormality is identified. The temporomandibular joint alignment is anatomic. The condyles appear well seated. There is intermediate signal intensity within the intermediate zone and posterior band of the articular disc of the temporomandibular joint which may reflect mild degeneration. The junction of the intermediate zone and posterior band angle measures between 10 and 30 degrees which is in the upper limits of normal. No frank dislocation of the articular disc is identified.The imaged soft tissues and the surrounding area are unremarkable. Note is made of multiple subcentimeter foci of decreased signal within the right parotid gland which are incompletely characterized but likely represent lymph nodes.
Mild temporomandibular joint articular disc degeneration without evidence of condylar head resorption.
