Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is characterized by mandibular condyle dislocation out of articular cavity, fixated in an abnormal position in which self-reduction it is not possible. The TMJ traumatic dislocation occurs after medium and high intensity trauma directly on the joint or on symphyseal area and it is generally associated to fractures. This report documents a case of an unusual posterolateral dislocation of the left condyle with tympanic plate fracture, insignificant fracture of mandibular condyle, and discuss about the clinical symptoms, classification of dislocations, and treatment. A list of similar cases from the last 10 years is also showed.

<p>Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is a condition in which the mandibular condyle is anteriorly displaced beyond the articular eminence, hence completely out of glenoid fossa which leaves the patient unable to close his/her mouth. Long standing TMJ dislocation persisting for more than a month are the most challenging to treat. The management varies widely, from closed reduction to complicated surgical procedures to reduce the dislocated condyle. Each case of dislocation presents with its own unique features. Since there are no standard rules or conventions for the ideal strategy in different circumstances till date, initial approach should be conservative, preserving surgical treatment for later if needed. This paper presents the experience of conservatively managing a case of long standing (one and half month old) TMJ dislocation under general anaesthesia with excellent outcome.</p><p> </p>

Mandibular accessory condyle is rare. Literature search found most of the accessory condyles to arise from the mandibular coronoid process due to hyperactivity of attached temporalis muscle. Although neoplastic growth at mandibular coronoid mimicking an accessory condyle also been cited. Absence of report in recent publications regarding accessory mandibular condyle arising from the main mandibular condyle makes this anomali extremely rare. The present case report is about a true accessory mandibular condyle which caused the patient facial and occlusal disharmony. A 3D computerized tomographic imaging ascertained the exact location of the accessory condyle, its origin and resting position of the accessory and the main condylar head. The facial and occlusal disharmony settled completely within a short postoperative time following surgical intervention and mild elastic traction.Delta Med Col J. Jan 2016 4(1): 45-50
