  • imaging of the mylohyoid muscle separation of submandibular and Sublingual Spaces
    American Journal of Roentgenology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Mika Otonariyamamoto, Koh Nakajima, Yuriko Tsuji, Takamichi Otonari, Hugh D. Curtin, Tomohiro Okano, Tsukasa Sano
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE. This article focuses on the anatomy of the mylohyoid muscle, a crucial landmark in imaging of the oral cavity and upper neck, showing dissected specimens and CT and MR images.CONCLUSION. Identification of the relationship of a lesion in the Sublingual Space to the mylohyoid muscle using MDCT and high-resolution MRI is a key part of the imaging assessment of the oral cavity and upper neck.

  • variation in arterial supply to the floor of the mouth and assessment of relative hemorrhage risk in implant surgery
    Clinical Oral Implants Research, 2013
    Co-Authors: Yuji Katsumi, Ray Tanaka, Taketo Koga, Ritsuo Takagi, Takafumi Hayashi, Hayato Ohshima
    Abstract:

    Objectives Bleeding in the floor of the mouth during implant surgery is attributed to arterial injuries in the Sublingual Space: clinicians may injure the submental and Sublingual arteries, which originate from the facial and lingual arteries, respectively. This study aimed to clarify the three-dimensional courses of submental and Sublingual arteries and their topographic relation to the mandible. Materials and methods During the gross anatomy course at the Faculty of Dentistry and Graduate School, Niigata University (2009–2011), we investigated the relationship between the courses of submental and Sublingual arteries and their dividing patterns of the mylohyoid muscle, Sublingual gland, and mandible using 27 human cadavers. Results The courses of submental and Sublingual arteries were divided into four patterns: (1) the Sublingual Space was supplied by the Sublingual artery (type I: 63%), (2) it was supplied by both the Sublingual and submental arteries (type II: 5.6%), (3) it was supplied by the submental artery without the Sublingual artery (type III: 29.6%), and (4) type III without the deep lingual artery originated from the lingual artery (type IV: 1.8%). In type II, III, and IV, the submental artery perforates the mylohyoid muscle or takes a roundabout route to travel near the surface of the mandible. The percentage occurrence of arteries traveling between the Sublingual gland and mandible in type II, III, and IV (55%) is higher than that in type I (8.8%). Conclusion Susceptibility of the submental artery in type II, III, and IV to injury during implant surgery is suggested.

  • the lingual lymph node identified as a sentinel node on ct lymphography in a patient with cn0 squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue
    Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 2012
    Co-Authors: M Saito, Hideyoshi Nishiyama, Yohei Oda, Susumu Shingaki, Takafumi Hayashi
    Abstract:

    We performed CT lymphography on an 81-year-old female patient with a histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue with no clinical or radiological evidence of cervical lymph node involvement. The lateral lingual lymph node was identified as a sentinel node, which is the first lymph node to receive drainage from a primary tumour. CT lymphography also showed draining lymphatics passing through the Sublingual Space, the medial side of the submandibular gland and near the hyoid bone and connected with the middle internal jugular node. Although metastasis to the lateral lingual lymph node is known as one of the crucial events in determining survival outcome in cancer of the tongue and floor of the mouth, very few reports are available on the imaging of the lateral lingual lymph node metastasis. This is the first report regarding the lateral lingual lymph node identified as a sentinel node demonstrated on CT lymphography.
