Myositis ossificans is a disease that is characterized by nonneoplastic, heterotopic bone formation within a muscle. Myositis ossificans traumatica, also called myositis ossificans circumscripta, is a disease in which muscles are ossified presumably following acute trauma, burns, surgical manipulation, or repeated injury. It is often remitted after surgical excision though some patients have repeated recurrences. Myositis ossificans traumatica of masticatory muscles is not frequently reported in the literature, with the most common clinical finding being a progressive limitation of motion in the mandible. The aim of this article is to present and discuss a case of myositis ossificans traumatica of the left medial pterygoid muscle and to review the literature of myositis ossificans of the masticatory muscles.

Quantification of the overall activity of every masticatory muscle is requisite for the analysis of stomatognathic function, which has not been accomplished by conventional electromyography. We used positron emission tomography and 18F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose to quantify the overall activity of every masticatory muscle during lateral excursion, and to evaluate the relative contribution of each masticatory muscle to lateral excursion. The present study suggested that lateral and medial pterygoid muscles are more responsible for lateral excursion than are masseter and temporal muscles. In particular, the contralateral lateral pterygoid muscle plays a major role, followed by the contralateral medial pterygoid muscle.
