SIFUENTES-ALCAZABA, Roger; EVANGELISTA-ALVA, Alexis y QUEZADA-MARQUEZ, Milushka. Characterization of the mineralization of the stylohyoid process in volumetric computed tomography. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.1, pp.16-24. ISSN 1019-4355. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v30i1.3673.
Objective:
To evaluate the tomographic characteristics of the mineralization of the stylohyoid process by volumetric computed tomography (CT).
Material and Methods:
reviewed 860 volumetric computed tomographies (593 correspond to the female sex and 267 to the male sex) of the Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Service. The age range was between 6 to 89 years. The tomographic adequacy of the Langlais classification was used. The statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test.
Results:
289 MPE were found, bilateral mineraliza-tion prevailed (68.86%). The arithmetic average length of the MPE was 39.54 mm. The frequency of MPE was 33.60% (289 cases). It was found more frequently in the age group of 40 to 49 years, there was no significant difference between the female and male sex (p = 0.5367). In the classification of Langlais the most frequent type was the segmented variants with 42.2%. The most frequent MPE pattern was the partially calcified variants with 58.8%.
Conclusions:
The frequency of the MPE was 33.60% and the TCV allows to identify this anatomical variation in a timely manner.
