isolated unilateral Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy case report
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2013Co-Authors: Bonnie H Wang, Seongjin Moon, Huan Wang, William C OliveroAbstract:Isolated unilateral Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy is an extremely rare cause of swelling in the temple region, with only 7 cases reported in the literature. The authors report the eighth case of this unique occurrence in a 17-year-old boy and review the current literature.

the blood supply of the reverse Temporalis Muscle flap anatomic study and clinical implications
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1999Co-Authors: Chien Tzung Chen, Jack B Robinson, Rod J Rohrich, Mona AnsariAbstract:Although the reverse Temporalis Muscle flap has been used clinically, the exact vascular connection between the superficial and deep temporal vessels has not been clearly defined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the vascular territory of the reverse Temporalis Muscle supplied by the superficial temporal vessels. Six cadaver heads were studied using a colored lead oxide injection through the superficial temporal artery. The specimens were examined macroscopically and radiographically. The reverse Temporalis Muscle flap was then applied to a clinical case presenting with traumatic anterior skull base defect communicating with the nasal cavity. The cadaver specimens demonstrated that the superficial temporal artery formed an average 1.3 +/- 0.2 cm in width of dense vascular zone, which was located within 1.8 cm below the superior temporal line. The dense vascular network further perfused the anterior and posterior deep temporal arteries and the muscular branch of the middle temporal artery to supply the Temporalis Muscle. The mean perfused area of the Temporalis Muscle was 83 percent, ranging from 79 to 89 percent, in five cadaver heads. One cadaver revealed only 55 percent of perfused area in the absence of the muscular branch of the middle temporal artery. The consistent area without perfusion was located in the distal third of the posterior portion of the reverse Temporalis Muscle. In clinical cases, the reverse Temporalis Muscle flap was used successfully to obliterate the anterior skull base defect without evidence of Muscle flap necrosis. The exact blood supply to the distal third of the posterior portion of the reverse Temporalis Muscle flap needs to be investigated further in vivo. Particular attention was paid to the inclusion of the muscular branch of the middle temporal artery in this flap to augment the blood supply to the Temporalis Muscle.

isolated unilateral Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy in a child a case report with literature review
BMC Pediatrics, 2018Co-Authors: Jagath Ranasinghe, Chandani Wickramasinghe, Ganganath RodrigoAbstract:Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy is a rare entity of masticatory Muscle hypertrophy. All types of masticatory Muscle hypertrophies have been documented of which Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy is one. Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy is most commonly bilateral and usually associated with other types of masticatory Muscles hypertrophy such as masseter or pterygoid hypertrophy. However, isolated unilateral Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy is extremely rare and only 9 cases have been reported to date in English literature since 1990 with only two patients less than 18 years. There is no exact etiology identified and the diagnosis is made by Muscle biopsy combined with imaging study to exclude other possibilities. Age at presentation is ranges from 15 to 65 years with involvement of both sexes. We report the youngest child who is a seven year old girl with right side isolated unilateral Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy. In this patient, we discuss the youngest child with isolated unilateral Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy and literature review to date. The patient is a seven year old female presenting with painless swelling of the right Temporalis Muscle. There had no features of inflammation, trauma, neoplasm or history of parafunctions such as bruxism. The child was not complaining significantly headache or visual disturbances as well. She had undergone radiological assessment with ultrasound scan and contrast MRI. The diagnosis was confirmed by Muscle biopsy which shows normal Muscle architecture. She was managed conservatively with regular follow up. Isolated unilateral Temporalis Muscle hypertrophy is extremely rare in children. However this case raises the importance of considering alternative diagnoses despite the condition being rare in the pediatric population.
