Disfunção temporomandibular, sintomas otológicos e sua associação com achados de imagem de ressonância magnética: investigação de literatura

Abstract

The objective of this work is to review the literature associating TMD and otological symptoms from the MRI image. Literature research was carried out in well-known health databases: Lilacs, Scielo and Pubmed. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) correspond to a series of alterations, among which the most common include painful disorders such as myofascial pain and arthralgia, internal derangements and degenerative disorders of the temporo-mandibular joints. Auditory symptoms may be related to TMD and / or auditory pathologies, confirming the possibility of coexisting associated auditory impairments, bringing the need to define the audiological conditions of individuals with TMD, such as otalgia. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a key role in the diagnosis of internal ATM derangement, because it allows a direct visualization of the articular disc in a closed and open mouth. It was concluded that there is a relation between temporomandibular dysfunction, otologic symptoms and findings of resonance imaging. The objective of this work is to review the literature associating TMD and otological symptoms from the MRI image.
