J J Zecha

    International Journal of Oral Surgery
    |June 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare case of a 25-year-old woman with a dislocated mandibular condyle into the middle cranial fossa is presented. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for successful repositioning and to prevent intracranial complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocations are typically anterior, but posterior dislocations into the middle cranial fossa are rare.
    • This case highlights a unique presentation of mandibular condyle dislocation.

    Observation:

    • A 25-year-old female presented with severe limitation of mandibular movement and fixation.
    • Clinical examination revealed a dislocated right mandibular condyle into the middle cranial fossa.

    Findings:

    • Radiographic examination, including tomography, confirmed the condyle's position and associated cranial base fractures.
    • Manual repositioning of the dislocated condyle was achieved two days post-trauma.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are vital for successful treatment outcomes.
    • Close collaboration between oral surgeons and neurosurgeons is essential due to the risk of intracranial complications.
