dc.description.abstract | Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an uncommon
condition, caused by hematic bacterial migration or direct migration of other
head and neck infections. We report a 41 year old female who presented a right
temporomandibular joint involvement, with bone destruction of the mandibular
condyle and an infectious process spreading to the temporal space, following
a necrotizing medial and external otitis with associated mastoiditis. A septic
arthritis of the TMJ by continuity was diagnosed and treated with antimicrobials,
TMJ arthrocentesis and occlusal stabilization, with a positive evolution.
However, the patient remains in control due a secondary TMJ osteoarthritis
caused by the septic arthritis. | |
