Orthopantomogram manifestations of j-AVMs in the maxilla (a) and mandible (b–e). (a) Unclear maxillary sinus and mild ground-glass appearance with involvement of the region around the roots of incisor (left) and first molar (right). The arrow indicates unclear maxillary sinus. (b) A clear oval or irregular hypodense shadow is mostly centred on the root of the first molar with a long axis along the mandibular canal and occasionally with root resorption. (c) Enlarged and wider mandibular canal than that on the contralateral side, and the mandibular canal was replaced by an irregular hypodense shadow. (d) Ground-glass appearance with an unclear edge and single or multiple “soap bubble” lucencies (indicated by the yellow arrow). (e) Osteolytic and polycystic changes involving a large part of the mandible with signs of teeth root displacement and enlargement of the involved region.
