咬肌肥大可能是一个诊断难题，它的确认往往是通过排除其他条件。本文回顾了有关该综合征的文献。本文描述了一项研究，以确认超声在诊断中的适用性，并建立一个正常范围。采用标准化技术测量了62块咬肌，得出横向尺寸的正常范围为8.5-13.5 mm。本文对3例临床诊断为咬肌肥大的患者进行了分析；在每个病例测量的横咬肌尺寸明显大于正常范围。在疑似病例中，直接超声测量咬肌体积应取代计算机断层扫描作为明确的调查。
Masseteric hypertrophy may present a diagnostic dilemma, its confirmation frequently being by exclusion of other conditions. The literature relating to this syndrome is reviewed. A study to confirm the suitability of ultrasound in diagnosis, and to establish a normal range, is described. Sixty-two masseter muscles were measured using a standardized technique and the derived normal range for transverse dimension was 8.5-13.5 mm. Three instances of clinically diagnosed masseteric hypertrophy were examined; in each case measured transverse masseteric dimension was significantly greater than the normal range. Direct ultrasonic measurement of masseteric bulk should replace computed tomography as the definitive investigation in suspected cases.
