Aspects of Choosing the Technique of Computed Tomography in the Diagnostics of Maxillofacial Dysostosis

Abstract

Maxillofacial dysostoses are congenital malformations of organs of head and neck, developing from the I and II gill arches. It is important to carry out differential diagnostics based on a comprehensive basic and additional examination aimed at determining all intracranial and extracranial symptoms specific for concrete syndrome, which is possible with modern methods of radiological diagnostic — CBCT and MSCT. The purpose of the study is to determine key aspects of choosing the computed tomography technique for diagnostics of maxillofacial dysostoses. From 2009 to 2023 215 MSCT and 86 CBCT were performed in 211 patients aged from 2 to 18 years old with maxillofacial dysostoses for the purpose of differential diagnostics of pathology, indications for choosing the volume of radiological examination were determined.
