Patients with neurological conditions such as epilepsy may be prone to frequent joint dislocations or trauma over their lifetimes. They may also undergo surgeries to prevent recurrent joint dislocation that may increase the risk of TMJ ankylosis. Epileptic patients represent a population in which treatment of TMJ ankylosis, particularly bilateral ankylosis, can be complicated by difficult airway or medical management in the postoperative period. Tracheostomy is not often required for airway management in patients undergoing total joint replacement for bilateral TMJ ankylosis but may be a useful surgical adjunct to increase treatment safety in certain patient populations. A multi-disciplinary approach to anti-epileptic medication management is also beneficial given potential difficulties with oral intake in patients with TMJ ankylosis.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A systematic review of the literature was undertaken for evaluation of available literature using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P).
