猫的颞下颌关节（TMJ）的微小解剖结构具有重要的临床意义，因为该关节存在大量病变。然而，在教科书和科学文章中，精确的解剖学记录很少。本研究的目的是详细描述，颞下颌关节的解剖结构及其与其他邻近解剖结构的猫。不同的解剖准备，包括血管和关节注射，显微解剖，冷冻切片和塑化，在12具尸体猫进行。所有的TMJ解剖结构进行了详细的识别和描述。全面了解颞下颌关节解剖结构对于了解与颞下颌关节疾病相关的临床体征、精确定位病变以及准确解释所有诊断成像技术的结果至关重要。
The minute anatomy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is of great clinical relevance in cats owing to a high number of lesions involving this articulation. However, the precise anatomy is poorly documented in textbooks and scientific articles. The aim of this study was to describe, in detail, the TMJ anatomy and its relationship with other adjacent anatomical structures in the cat. Different anatomical preparations, including vascular and articular injection, microdissection, cryosection and plastination, were performed in 12 cadaveric cats. All TMJ anatomical structures were identified and described in detail. A thorough understanding of the TMJ anatomy is essential to understand the clinical signs associated with TMJ disorders, to locate lesions precisely and to accurately interpret the results in all diagnostic imaging techniques.
