Paediatric temporo-mandibular joint ankylosis of infectious origin at the Yaounde University Teaching Hospital

Mandibular condyle and glenoid fossa fusion results in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. Paediatric TMJ ankylosis has a negative impact on facial growth, resulting in micrognathia, dental malocclusions, and sometimes facial asymmetry, which leads to significant morbidity. We present a case of...

Zusammenfassung:	Mandibular condyle and glenoid fossa fusion results in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. Paediatric TMJ ankylosis has a negative impact on facial growth, resulting in micrognathia, dental malocclusions, and sometimes facial asymmetry, which leads to significant morbidity. We present a case of a bilateral TMJ ankylosis with an infectious odontogenic origin.
