Temporomandibular joint destruction in mucolipidosis type III necessitating gastrostomy insertion

Zarzuela Zolkipli et al. Eur J Pediatr. 2005 Dec.

Abstract

Mucolipidosis III is a genetically heterogeneous lysosomal disorder characterised by progressive symptoms and signs, the commonest being skeletal pain due to bony destruction. We describe a patient who developed severe destruction of the temporomandibular joints leading to difficulties with speech and feeding, necessitating gastrostomy insertion.

Conclusion: Temporomandibular joint involvement has not been previously reported in mucolipidosis III.
