Autoři v kazuistice prezentují případ kavernózního hemangiomu temporálního svalu u 37leté pacientky, která byla na ORL ambulanci vyšetřena pro měkké, oválné, nebolestivé zduření temporální oblasti vlevo. Intramuskulární hemangiom je vzácné onemocnění, které tvoří přibližně 1 % všech hemangiomů. Ve světové literatuře bylo doposud popsáno pouze 34 případů tohoto onemocnění. Diskutována je symptomatologie, patofyziologie, diagnostika a terapeutický postup.
The authors present a case report of a 37-year-old female patient seen at the ENT clinic for a soft oval swelling on the left temporal region Intramuscular haemangioma is a rare diagnosis, accounting for only 1% of all haemangiomas. Only 34 cases of intramuscular haemangioma of the temporal muscle have been described in the world literature. In the case report, the authors describe the diagnostic process, surgical procedure, other therapeutic options, and the follow-up of the patient.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a chronic degenerative disease that affects motor neurons, thereby promoting functional changes in the human body. The study evaluated the electromyographic fatigue threshold of the masseter and temporal muscles of subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A total of eighteen subjects were divided into two groups: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (n=9) and disease-free control (n=9). The groups were equally divided according to gender (7 males, 2 females). The fatigue threshold was analysed using median frequencies obtained during the 5-second window (initial [IP], mid [MP], and final [FP] periods) of electromyographic signalling of the masseter and temporal muscles bilaterally, with reduction in muscle force during maximal voluntary dental clenching. Significant difference (p<0.05) in the left temporal muscle: IP (p=0.05) and MP (p=0.05) periods was demonstrated. The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis group showed a decrease in median frequency of the electromyographic signal of the masseter and temporal muscles compared to the control group. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis promotes functional impairment of the stomatognathic system, especially at the electromyographic fatigue threshold of the masticatory muscles.

Intervertebral disc degeneration is a pathological condition associated with the intervertebral disc and is related to functional alterations in the human body. This study aimed to evaluate the maximum molar bite force and masseter and temporal muscles thickness in individuals with intervertebral disc degeneration. Thirty-two individuals were divided into two groups: those with degeneration of intervertebral discs (n=16) and those without degeneration (n=16). The maximum molar bite force (on the right and left sides) was measured using a dynamometer. Masseter and temporal muscle thickness during mandibular task rest and dental clenching in maximum voluntary contraction were analysed using ultrasound. Significant differences in the left molar bite force (p=0.04) were observed between the groups (Student's t-test, p<0.05). The intervertebral disc degeneration group had a lower maximum molar bite force. No significant differences in muscle thickness were observed between the masseter and temporal muscles in either group. However, based on clinical observations, the group with intervertebral disc degeneration presented less masseter muscle thickness and greater temporal muscle thickness in both mandibular tasks. Degenerative disease of the intervertebral discs promoted morphofunctional changes in the stomatognathic system, especially in maximum molar bite force and masticatory muscle thickness. This study provides insight into the interaction between spinal pathology and the stomatognathic system, which is important for healthcare professionals who treat patients with functional degeneration.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the stomatognathic system of individuals with controlled systemic hypertension through comparison with a disease-free control group. Seventy individuals (44 female and 26 male) were divided into two groups: a controlled systemic hypertension (n=35) and a disease-free control (n=35). The individuals were evaluated on the basis of masticatory cycle efficiency of the value of the ensemble-averaged integrated linear envelope to the electromyographic signal of the masseter and temporalis muscles in the habitual (peanuts and raisins) and non-habitual chewing (Parafilm M); molar bite force (right and left) and ultrasound images from the bilateral masseter and temporal muscles at rest and maximum voluntary contraction. The data obtained were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis (p<0.05). There was a significant difference between groups in the habitual (peanuts and raisins) and non-habitual (Parafilm M) chewing with reduced muscle activity to controlled systemic hypertension group. Muscle thickness occurred significant difference between groups at rest and maximum voluntary contraction of the temporalis muscles. There was no significant difference between groups in maximum molar bite force. The present study findings indicate that the controlled systemic hypertension promotes functional changes of the masticatory system, especially with respect to its masticatory efficiency and muscle thickness.

Osteoarthrosis is a disorder of synovial joints, resulting from destruction of the cartilage and subchondral bone. The present study is aimed to investigate the molar bite force, thickness and efficiency of the masseter and temporalis muscles of subjects with osteoarthrosis. A total of forty-eight subjects participated in the study. They were distributed into two groups: with osteoarthrosis (n=24) and asymptomatic controls (n=24). Subjects were analyzed on the basis of maximal molar bite force (right and left side), thickness (mandibular rest and dental clenching in maximal voluntary contraction) and electromyographic activity of masticatory cycles through the linear envelope integral in habitual (raisins and peanuts) and non-habitual (Parafilm M) chewing of the masseter and temporalis muscles. All the data were analyzed statistically using t-test with a significance level of p≤0.05. There was no difference between groups in maximal molar bite force, muscle thickness and non-habitual chewing. Differences were found on the raisins (p=0.02) and peanuts (p=0.05) chewing for right temporal muscle, with reduced masticatory muscle efficiency in osteoarthrosis subjects. This study showed that osteoarthrosis induces negative changes in habitual chewing, highlighting the efficiency of the right temporalis muscles. The greater temporal muscle activity in subjects with osteoarthrosis may compromise chewing and consequently the nutritional status of adult subjects.

Autoři prezentují kazuistiku pacientky s anoftalmií, u které byl k rekonstrukci očních víček užit retroaurikulo-temportální lalok (Washio flap). Tento lalok, který je nejčastěji užíván k rekonstrukcím defektu nosu, nebyl podle dostupné literatury tímto způsobem dosud využit.
The authors present a case report of a patient with anophthalmia in whom retroauriculo-temporal flap (Washio flap) was used for reconstruction of eyelids. This flap, which is mostly used for reconstructions of nasal defects, was not used in this way according to available literature.
Pterionální kraniotomie představuje v neurochirurgické operativě jeden ze základních operačních přístupů. Využívá se mimo jiné v chirurgii aneuryzmat předního povodí. Alternativou k tomuto přístupu je laterální supraorbitální kraniotomie dle prof. Hernesniemiho. V porovnání s pterionální kraniotomií je rychlejší, méně invazivní vůči temporálnímu svalu, přičemž neomezuje přístup k intrakraniálním patologiím. Představujeme naše zkušenosti s laterální supraorbitální kraniotomií v chirurgii pacientů s aneuryzmatem předního povodí.
Pterional craniotomy is one of the elementary neurosurgical approaches. Among other uses, it is applied in cerebral aneurysms of the anterior circulation. Lateral supraorbital approach developed by prof. Hernesniemi is an alternative. Compared to pterional craniotomy, it is faster and less invasive to the temporal muscle and does not limit an approach towards intracranial pathologies. We present our experience with lateral supraorbital craniotomy in patients with anterior circulation.
