ABSTRACT Surgery of temporomandibular joint ankylosis under general anesthesia poses a great challenge to anesthesiologists. This surgery falls in the category of difficult intubation as direct vocal cord visualization is difficult due to an inability to open the mouth. The present case report suggests that the fiberoptic intubation has become an essential skill for anesthetists dealing with patients in whom orotracheal intubation is anatomically difficult.

Joint Ankylosis

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is classically characterized by fusion of any of the two of seven cervical vertebrae. It is identified by the presence of a triad of clinical signs including short neck, limitation of head and neck movements and low posterior hairline. Unusual bony malformations leading to facial asymmetry is the most common oral manifestation associated with KFS. Such maxillomandibular fusion can also result in restricted mouth opening in children. It's a challenge to provide complete rehabilitation in such children. This paper presents a report of a type II KFS with both maxillomandibular fusion and temporomandibular joint ankylosis which led to the limited mouth opening in a six-year-old child. Also, the child showed an inadequate development of speech, facial asymmetry and compromised oral health owing to the restricted mouth opening. After thorough investigations, surgery was done which restored limited mouth opening which led to normalizing of speech and oral health.

Bifid Condyle

ABSTRACT The etiology of alterations of the temporomandibular joint, such as ankylosis and bifid condyle, comprises several causes including trauma. However, otological infections cannot be overlooked as a probable cause of alterations of the temporomandibular joint, because the proximity between the external auditory canal and the temporomandibular joint facilitates the spread of infection in the region. This article presents a case-report of a patient with bifid condyle of the temporomandibular joint, in which the patient had no history of facial trauma, but had suffered recurrent otitis infections during her childhood. In parallel, a second case-report is described of temporomandibular joint ankylosis in a 12-year-old patient with a history of facial trauma during her childhood. The purpose of this study was to highlight and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders to avoid the development of facial asymmetries, restore function, esthetics, and the psychological state of the patient.

Objective: To present a case of bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis that was managed successfully through gap arthroplasty. Methods: Design:   Case report Setting:   Tertiary Government Hospital Patient:   One Results: A 25-year-old man presented with inability to open his mouth for 18 years after direct trauma to his chin.  CT scan showed bilateral bony fusion of condyles to glenoid fossae, hypertrophic sclerosis and fusion of the condylar heads to the temporal bones. He underwent bilateral gap arthroplasty via preauricular approach with creation of a 15 mm space on the mandibular fossa. As of latest follow up, the patient maintained an inter-alveolar distance of 30 mm for 5 months postoperatively, through continuous aggressive mouth opening exercises. Conclusion:      Gap arthroplasty may be an efficient procedure for temporomandibular joint ankylosis in achieving satisfactory post-operative inter-alveolar opening and articular function. Early and meticulous rehabilitation is required to prevent relapse. Long-term follow up is recommended to document possible recurrence.   Keywords: temporomandibular joint ankylosis, gap arthroplasty, TMJ ankylosis, ankylosis

Joint Ankylosis

Introduction: The temporomandibular joint ankylosis is the union between the surface of the temporal bone in its articular portion and the complex made out of articular disk and the condyle. Its etiology is multifactorial being the trauma with condylar fracture most cited. This alteration causes several functional disorders to the patient, among them the main one is the limitation of mouth opening, which causes difficulty eating, speaking, hygiene, speech and others. The diagnosis is made through a clinic image test. The goal is to show a report of case of ankylosis as well as a literature review.
