Abstract:
Temporomandibular joint arthritis is a rare manifestation of familial Mediterranean fever and should be considered in patients of Mediterranean origin. Recently we treated four patients suffering from this condition, and intra-articular corticosteroid injection resulted in rapid resolution of the pain and disability in two. Computed tomography confirmed the usefulness of this therapeutic modality.
