BACKGROUND A 32-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital following a motor vehicle accident. Her chief complaint was severe limited mouth opening and unilateral open bite on the left. METHODS Axial and coronal CT scans showed penetration of right condyle into the middle cranium through the fractured roof of glenoid fossa. A craniotomy exactly above the glenoid fossa was done. RESULTS The condyle was reduced and the glenoid fossa was reconstructed. CONCLUSIONS On postoperative follow-up at 6 months, the patient had no complaint, but there was a small deviation to the affected side on opening.

D035301 Cranial Fossa, Middle The compartment containing the anterior extremities and half the inferior surface of the temporal lobes (TEMPORAL LOBE) of the cerebral hemispheres. Lying posterior and inferior to the anterior cranial fossa (CRANIAL FOSSA, ANTERIOR), it is formed by part of the TEMPORAL BONE and SPHENOID BONE. It is separated from the posterior cranial fossa (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR) by crests formed by the superior borders of the petrous parts of the temporal bones.
