ABSTRACT

Temporomandibular joint dislocation is a common phenomenon reported regularly in our day to day clinics. Posterior displacement of the mandibular condyle is often seen which is mostly reduced manually but dislocation posterior to the posterior part of glenoid fossa into the external auditory canal is rarely seen and reported. So here we are reporting a case of Temporomandibular joint dislocation of mandibular condyle into the external auditory canal. In outline, mandible can bring about a TMJ mechanical assembly damage. Because of the cozy connection amongst TMJ and EAC, atypical damage, for example, a break of the front mass of the EAC can happen. An oral and maxillofacial specialist, when called to inspect and analyze TMJ damage issue, has the testing obligation to consider the potential attending fleeting bone breaks or intracranial inconveniences in collaboration with radiologists, ENT specialists and neurosurgeons.
