Abstract: A case of chronic renal failure accompanied with maxillofacial osteodystrophy was reported. The radiological features on panoramic, skull PA-LAT, and CT radiography were described and summarized based on literatures. On the plain radiographs, jaw bones presented diffuse or localized demineralization, thinning of cortical bone, and loss of dental lamina. CT images showed unique features of coarsened trabecular pattern and serpiginous tunneling or channeling within the jaw bone.

Key words: Renal osteodystrophy, Oral and maxillofacial manifestations, Radiological diagnosis
