title: [Diagnostic imaging of adhesions of the temporomandibular joint].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the image diagnostic criteria of adhesions of the TMJ.
  
  
  METHODS
  26 cases of intra-articular adhesions were collected from 103 cases with internal derangement of TMJ. The clinical examination, arthrographic findings and arthroscopic detections were compared.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The arthrographic findings showed that the lack, interruption and irregular joint margins of contrast material appeared in the superior space, the posterior band of disc appeared in the same relative position in both the closed and open views and intra-articular adhesion often associated with anterior disc displacement.
