Mönckeberg sclerosis is a disease of unknown etiology, characterized by dystrophic calcification within the arterial tunica media of the lower extremities leading to reduced arterial compliance. Medial calcinosis does not obstruct the lumina of the arteries, and therefore does not lead to symptoms or signs of limb or organ ischemia. Mönckeberg sclerosis most commonly occurs in aged and diabetic individuals and in patients on dialysis. Mönckeberg arteriosclerosis is frequently observed in the visceral arteries, and it can occur in the head and neck region as well. This report describes a remarkable case of Mönckeberg arteriosclerosis in the head and neck region as detected on dental imaging studies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case that has been reported in which this condition presented in the facial vasculature. The aim of this report was to define the radiographic characteristics of Mönckeberg arteriosclerosis in an effort to assist health care providers in diagnosing and managing this condition.

10.The mechanisms of medial vascular calcification.
Acta Physiologica Sinica 2016;68(5):592-610
Vascular calcification is an active, invertible and highly regulated pathophysiological process, characterized by the deposition of hydroxyapatite crystal in vascular wall. Vascular calcification is classified into two types based on the sites of calcification: intimal atherosclerotic calcification and Mönckeberg's medial calcification. Medial vascular calcification is a pathological phenomenon commonly existed in diabetes, chronic kidney failure and aging. The current review summarizes the mechanisms of medial vascular calcification.
