Stylomandibular fusion complicating recurrent bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis

Bhaskar Agarwal et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2016 Nov.

Abstract

Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is debilitating, and difficult to manage because it recurs. Recurrent bilateral ankylosis is further complicated by the fusion of the styloid process and the mandible. We report such a case, and to our knowledge no similar case has been reported previously.

Keywords: Stylo-mandibular fusion; Temporomandibular joint ankylosis.
