Fig. 6B. Muscles of mastication in 7-year-old girl with left
hemifacial microsomia. CT scan shows normal right lateral pterygoid muscle
inserting along lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate (straight
arrow). On left, small and poorly formed lateral pterygoid muscle
(arrowhead) can be identified by its insertion on hypoplastic lateral
pterygoid plate. Lateral pterygoid muscle is difficult to distinguish from
medial pterygoid muscle, which inserts into pterygoid fossa. Muscle lying
lateral to lateral pterygoid fossa is temporal muscle (wavy arrow),
which inserts inferiorly on dysplastic mandible.
