Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Public Health - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Spontaneous anterior temporomandibular joint dislocation is a rare scenario. Underlying systemic diseases such as epilepsy may predispose a patient to temporomandibular joint dislocation. We present here such a case of bilateral ante - rior temporomandibular joint dislocation following a single episode of seizure in a critically ill patient, which required to be diagnosed and treated urgently.
