[Oradlist] Odd periosteal reaction

[Abramovitch, Kenneth]

At 14, a bilateral change like this appears to simply be growth and development of areas of exostoses. Follow-up would help confirm this .

Hello Everyone,

Can anyone explain this odd bilateral periosteal reaction in this otherwise healthy 14 year old referred for impacted second molar (due to eruption sequestra) and third molar follicle evaluation? All other bony cortices on the field of view appear normal. The spheno-occipital junction has not fused yet. Anyone know of any changes in the mandible related to the growth spurt?
