INTRAMUSCULAR HEMANGIOMA OF THE MASSETER MUSCLE

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1977
We present a case of intramuscular hemangioma of the masseter muscle. We stress that, although there can be apparent vascular infiltration of the muscle, this lesion is benign; it should not be mistakenly diagnosed as an angiosarcoma.

Neural organization of the masseter muscle in the pig

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1989
AbstractThe neural organization of the pig masseter, an architecturally and functionally compartmentalized muscle, was investigated by using dissection, glycogen depletion, evoked electromyography, and counts of axon numbers at various levels along the masseteric nerve.

The role of the muscle spindles in human masseter

Human Movement Science, 2001
In the limb muscles, the muscle spindles have been demonstrated to be important in the maintenance of static posture. This role is supported by the close proximity of the muscle spindles to motor units that develop small forces and are fatigue-resistant, and the greater effectiveness of the input from muscle spindle afferents onto the small motoneurons

Masseter muscle hypertrophy

Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 1986
Masseter muscle hypertrophy (MMH) is most probably a congenital, genetically determined anomaly. Thus we should refer to it as hyperplasia rather than hypertrophy of the masseteric muscle. Excision of the internal layer of the masseter muscle and reduction of the thickened bone in the region of the mandibular angle, via an intraoral approach, is the ...

Reflex responses of masseter muscles to sound

Clinical Neurophysiology, 2010
Acoustic stimuli can evoke reflex EMG responses (acoustic jaw reflex) in the masseter muscle. Although these were previously ascribed to activation of cochlear receptors, high intensity sound can also activate vestibular receptors. Since anatomical and physiological studies, both in animals and humans, have shown that masseter muscles are a target for ...

Masseter muscle rigidity after vecuronium

European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 1999
Masseter muscle rigidity after suxamethonium, usually occurring in children induced with halothane, is associated with malignant hyperthermia. A case is reported in which masseter muscle rigidity occurred in an adult following vecuronium. From the limited data available, this and two similar reported cases, it appears that non-depolarizing muscle ...

Tenomyositis of the masseter muscle: report of cases

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1985
Inflammation occurring at the attachment of the masseter muscle to the zygomatic arch--tenomyositis--must be distinguished from the more common disorders occurring in the rest of the muscle. Anti-inflammatory treatment has been effective in the treatment of tenomyositis. The cases presented illustrate the effectiveness of this type of treatment.
