Bilateral ankylosis of temporomandibular joint secondary to ankylosing spondylitis in a male Chinese

T K Chow et al. Scand J Rheumatol. 1997.

Abstract

A case of bilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis in a Chinese male patient with ankylosing spondylitis is presented. A review of the literature emphasizes the rarity of this arthro-pathology in ankylosing spondylitis. The importance in the recognition of this complication by clinical examination supplemented by computed tomography is stressed.
