The surgical management of paediatric patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, mandibular retrognathia and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is challenging. We report a nine-year-old boy who presented to the Department of Oral Health, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2016 with complaints of limited mouth opening, loud snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness. He was diagnosed with TMJ ankylosis, mandibular retrognathia and severe OSA. The patient initially underwent mandibular distraction and, subsequently, release of the TMJ ankylosis and rib graft reconstruction. The overall patient outcome was successful, with improvement in OSA-related symptoms, good facial symmetry and adequate mouth opening.Keywords: Temporomandibular Joint Disorders; Temporomandibular Ankylosis; Retrognathia; Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Case Report; Oman.

Joint Ankylosis

A 2-year-old boy was brought by his parents with complaints of difficulty in mouth opening for the past one and half years. He had difficulty in chewing and was malnourished, with developing facial asymmetry. He was diagnosed with right side temporomandibular joint ankylosis. We planned for surgical removal of the ankylotic mass. But we modified the treatment protocol. Instead of doing coronoidectomy after aggressive excision of the ankylotic mass as advocated by Kaban, we did a ‘coronoidoplasty’ after aggressive excision of the ankylotic mass. Coronoidotomy or coronoidectomy is one of the rungs in the treatment ladder that is followed in surgical management of temporomandibular joint ankylosis. But one of the postoperative complications after coronoidectomy is the open bite. The difficulty to close the mouth becomes more pronounced when bilateral coronoidectomy is done. However, ‘coronoidoplasty’, as we have done for this patient retains the action of the temporalis muscle on the mandible in closing the mouth, yet removes the mechanical interference of the coronoid process. Postoperatively the patient was able to clench his teeth well, chew properly and there was no open bite.
