Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome is pain in the jaw joint that can be caused by a variety of medical problems. The TMJ connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull (temporal bone) in front of the ear. Certain facial muscles that control chewing are also attached to the lower jaw. Problems in this area can cause head and neck pain, tinnitus, vertigo, facial pain, ear pain, headaches, a jaw that is locked in position or difficult to open, problems with biting, and jaw clicking or popping s

🧠MRI of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) 🦴 Today’s MRI demonstrates a normal TMJ with smooth biomechanics and intact joint components. From a radiologist’s point of view, the study shows: 🔹 Normal disc morphology – biconcave and well-positioned in both open & closed mouth views. 🔹 No internal derangement – disc maintains its relationship with the condyle throughout motion. 🔹 Normal condylar movement – smooth anterior translation without restriction. 🔹 No joint effusion, no erosions, no de
