    This case report details static spinal muscular atrophy presenting with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and elevated creatine kinase. It highlights the rare but crucial link between neuromuscular disorders and TMJ issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Genetics
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Static spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular disorder.
    • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can have various etiologies.
    • The association between neuromuscular disorders and TMJ disease is recognized but rarely reported.

    Observation:

    • A patient with static spinal muscular atrophy presented with temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
    • Markedly elevated creatine kinase levels were observed in the patient.
    • This presentation is unusual regarding disease progression and biochemical findings.

    Findings:

    • The case demonstrates a rare instance of primary neuromuscular disease predisposing to TMJ dysfunction.
    • Elevated creatine kinase levels suggest underlying muscle pathology.

  • The findings underscore a potential link between specific neuromuscular conditions and TMJ disorders.

    • Implications:

    • Emphasizes the importance of thorough neuromuscular evaluation in patients with unexplained TMJ dysfunction.
    • Suggests considering neuromuscular causes in TMJ dysfunction, especially with atypical presentations.
    • Highlights the need for further research into the relationship between neuromuscular disorders and TMJ pathology.
