Osteoradionecrosis of the mandible: Pathogenesis

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1990
Although the precise pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood, osteoradionecrosis of the mandible is caused by radiation-induced cellular injury, ultimately resulting in a chronic, nonhealing wound. This etiology does not explain the strong predisposition of the mandible to radionecrosis relative to the maxilla, and overlooks the contribution of ...

Osteoradionecrosis of the skull base

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2020
Radiation therapy (RT) is often necessary for the treatment of head and neck cancers. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a rare, but potentially serious complication of RT. RT leads to the destruction of vasculature in radiated tissue causing hypoxia and tissue necrosis.

Osteoradionecrosis of the Exenterated Orbit

Orbit, 2014
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) occurs in an estimated 2% of head and neck-irradiated patients. It is seen most commonly in the mandible with other reported sites including the maxilla, temporal bone, clavicle, and vertebrae. It is defined as an area of exposed devitalised irradiated bone, with failure to heal during a period of at least 3 months, in the ...

Osteoradionecrosis of the Temporal Bone

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1982
Osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone is a rare but potentially lethal complication of therapeutic irradiation to the cranial vault and surrounding tissues. The possibility that radionecrosis of the endomeatal skin and secondary infection are simultaneously prerequistite and responsible for the development of this condition is reviewed. The long‐term

Management Of Osteoradionecrosis Of The Mandible

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1993
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is a severe complication that follows ionizing radiation therapy in patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancers. The occurrence of ORN usually implies other coexisting problems and should not be thought of as a "bone only" defect. For treatment to be effective, all tissues involved must be addressed.

The management of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1986
Therapeutic measures used in the management of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws are reviewed with reference to clinical case material. The development of rational treatment regimes designed to deal with the underlying pathological problem are discussed.
