[The value of MRI in the management temporomandibular joint algo-dysfunctional syndromes. Preliminary study].
The authors report their initial conclusions regarding the value of M.R.I. in the investigation of temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction. This examination was performed for all varieties of symptomatology: musculo-ligamentary, menisco-ligamentary or meniscal. A detailed examination technic is given. M.R.I. enables meniscal abnormalities to be demonstrated: morphological and positional abnormalities (reducible and irreducible anterior luxations) and structural abnormalities similar to those seen in meniscal pathology within the knee joint.
