Ankylosis of the temporalis-coronoid complex of the mandible
Abstract:
Ankylosis of the temporalis-coronoid complex is a clinical entity. The etiology is usually direct trauma to the temporalis muscle or coronoid process of the mandible. It is difficult to differentiate diagnostically from ankylosis of the adjacent temporomandibular joint, and should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of inability to open the mouth. The treatment is always surgical and the intraoral approach is favored. The cure rate with this modality of therapy has been gratifying.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
