ABSTRACT
The authors evaluated the panoramic radiographs of 1,193 consecutively treated patients 18 years old and younger for the presence of asymptomatic radiolucencies in the mandibular condyles. The 27 radiographs initially selected were examined by four independent reviewers. Of the 1,193 patients, 18 (1.5 percent [10 female and eight male]) met the criteria for condylar pseudocysts. Follow-up radiographs showed minimal or no change in size of the radiolucencies. Clinicians need to be aware of these anatomic variations so that patients are not subjected to inappropriate treatment.
