Area of Science:

  • Medical Case Reports
  • Gastroenterology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic procedures, while common, can rarely lead to musculoskeletal complications.
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is an uncommon but significant adverse event associated with medical interventions.

Observation:

  • A case of bilateral TMJ dislocation is presented in a female patient subsequent to undergoing an endoscopic procedure.
  • The dislocation occurred without prior history of TMJ issues.

Findings:

  • Review of existing literature reveals limited reports of TMJ dislocation post-endoscopy.
  • Potential predisposing factors, including patient positioning and prolonged mouth gag use during endoscopy, are discussed.

Implications:

  • Awareness of this potential complication is crucial for clinicians performing endoscopic procedures.
  • Proactive identification of at-risk patients and specific management protocols can mitigate the occurrence and impact of TMJ dislocation.
