Cranial dislocation of mandibular condyle. 1977

R H Kallal, and B J Gans, and L B Lagrotteria

The ninth case of condylar dislocation into the middle cranial fossa is reported. The previously reported cases are reviewed and the clinical findings which they have in common are pointed out. Because difficulty in establishing the diagnosis seems to be the most serious aspect of this clinical entity, it is advised that films of the temporomandibular joint be taken more frequently. Finally, although treatment varied from physical therapy to intracranial condylectomy, our case of closed withdrawal of the condyle from the cranial fossa is the first case on record so treated.
