Abstract

A healthy,12-year-old female patient, presented with an anterior open bite requesting orthodontic treatment. A panoramic radiograph was requested for treatment planning (Figure 1). An incidental finding of well-defined multilocular radiolucencies were detected superimposed over the right ramus and middle cranial fossa region. The patient was asymptomatic with no clinical signs of facial asymmetry. A cone-beam computerised tomography (CBCT) scan was requested to exclude any occult pathology (Figure 2).
