Figure 1 Axial computed tomography (A) with coronal (B) and sagittal (C) reformations. Multiple calcified loose bodies are seen within an expanded left temporal mandibular joint (arrows) (A, B). There is thickening and sclerosis of the temporal mandibular joint glenoid roof, with a focal erosion that extends to the inner table.
