Loss of bony integrity of the temporomandibular joint may result in prolapse of the joint capsule into the external auditory canal. This in turn gives rise to arthralgia, trismus and earache and a risk of septic arthritis.We describe a technique of repair which is simple, uses autologous tissue and has an acceptable cosmetic and functional result.

Abstract Background Otomastoiditis is a very frequent affection and a current complication of mal-treated benign ear infections in children. However, this a very rare case of the association of two rare complications of otomastoiditis in a newborn. On the one hand, septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint which is a very rare condition that is difficult to diagnose, and when unrecognized or not treated accordingly, it can resolve in serious infectious complication and or definitive injury to the temporomandibular joint. On the other hand, osteomyelitis of the clavicle is also very rare, and only a few cases have been cited in the literature concerning infants. Case presentation This 46-day-old infant was brought to pediatric emergency consultation for 2 swelling inflammatory bulges, one in the right mastoid and pre-auricular regions, and another in the right basi-cervical area. The infant was hypertrophic febrile, hypotonic, and pale. He had preserved archaic reflexes. Besides, blood test showed an inflammatory syndrome, inflammatory anemia, and no other abnormalities. Upon supplementary computed tomodensitometry exam, the diagnosis of a combination of septic arthritis of the right temporomandibular joint and sub-periosteal abscess of the ipsilateral clavicle in a context of hypotrophy and malnutrition was suspected. A pus sample was obtained for bacteriological evaluation, after which the infant had a course of intravenous associated antibiotics, along with nutritional assessment and management. Surgical drainage of both collections was performed. The 6-month follow-up was satisfactory, without clinical signs of functional impact on temporomandibular joint, or acromioclavicular joint. Conclusion This work stresses the necessity of thorough clinical examination of infants even in cases of benign ear infections, as well as the importance of adapted treatment and follow-up, which could allow early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, or even prevention of severe complications that can be associated with such benign conditions.

Temporomandibular ankylosis, even though considered to be of a relatively rare emergence, can be encountered in day-to-day clinical practice. Most cases follow a typical, if not identical anamnesis pattern. The background of mechanical difficulties manifestation is associated with some trauma. The animals usually suffer a severe blow to the head, leading to a gradual development of the defect, which unfortunately most owners are not aware of, or claim not to be. This case report describes a typical incidence of post traumatic ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The patient suffered a blow to the head at the age of 4 months, the clinical aftermath of which was a gradual difficulty in opening the mouth. A CT examination revealed the extent of damage in the region of the zygomatic arch, affecting also the corresponding TMJ. For this particular case, a surgical intervention was the only course of treatment, meaning the resection of arcus zygomaticus and the TMJ. The procedure was scheduled to be performed 14 days post the CT examination. Due to the fact that the changes were located only on the lateral surface of the TMJ, the plan was to resect and remove the affected area only, with the medial part of the TMJ left intact and in position. The joint capsule was then sutured. This approach proved to be very beneficial and effective in the outcome of the surgery and in aiding in the overall comfort of the patient.

AbstractObjectives:We describe a rare case of spontaneous temporomandibular joint herniation into the external auditory canal, and we also review the presentation, aetiology and management of such cases.Case report:An 87-year-old woman presented with a four-month history of left-sided otorrhoea and otalgia. Examination revealed a soft, polypoid mass in the left ear canal. When the patient opened her mouth the lesion disappeared. Subsequent computed tomographic imaging of the patient's temporal bones confirmed an 8.6 mm defect in the antero-inferior portion of the left ear canal, with herniation of retrodiscal soft tissues.Conclusion:The external auditory canal is intimately related to the temporomandibular joint, separated only by its bony anterior wall. Neoplasm, trauma or inflammation in this area can result in displacement of the temporomandibular joint into the ear canal; however, spontaneous herniation is rare. Persistence of the primitive foramen of Huschke can result in dehiscence of the anterior canal wall, allowing articular tissue to prolapse into the ear canal. Surgical closure of these defects is known to be effective in ameliorating symptomatic cases.
