The causes may be congenital or acquired and include trauma, arthritis, infection, neoplasms, previous TMJ surgery etc. Surgical treatment consists of extensive resection of the ankylotic mass and reconstruction of the ramus-condyle unit with autogenous or alloplastic grafts. A combination of surgical treatment and physiotherapy is usually needed in order to achieve maximum rehabilitation and functionality of the mandible. The purpose of this poster presentation is to present the surgical management of an unusual case of unilateral TMJ ankylosis and review the literature. Case report: A thirty-seven-year old male patient presented complaining of the inability to open his mouth since his birth. Clinical examination revealed congenital unilateral TMJ ankylosis. The lateral movement of the mandible was impossible. The patient was treated with resection of the ankylotic bone mass, replacement of the condyle with costo-chondral graft and replacement of articular disc with the temporal fascia. Since the surgery was completed the patient shows no signs of relapse. Conclusion: TMJ ankylosis can be congenital or acquired. Its treatment requires detailed medical history, clinical and radiographic examination. Surgical resection of the ankylotic bone and coronoid process is necessary and a graft that resembles to the ramus-condyle unit can be placed. Immediate postoperative kinesiotherapy and regular recalls are of great importance.","PeriodicalId":164809,"journal":{"name":"Hellenic Archives of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129848324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, some cases diagnosed with Eagle syndrome are discussed. Materials and Methods: Searches were conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct databases. Only English language results were reviewed. The following key words were used: “Eagle Syndrome” and “stylohyoid syndrome”. Typical cases will be presented. Results: Eagle Syndrome is a rare clinical condition (4–8 per 10,000 people) that presents with a variety of symptoms. It was first described by Eagle in 1937. It is more common in females than males (2:1 ratio) and in ages mainly greater than 50 years. Eagle syndrome is characterised by elongation of the styloid processes and/or stylohyoid ligament calcification, unilaterally or bilaterally. Due to its atypical symptoms, it is easy to be misdiagnosed. Common symptoms are: facial and neck pain, otalgia or temporomandibular joint pain, dysphagia/odynophagia, foreign body sensation. Other conditions related with Eagle syndrome are: ischemic attacks, carotid artery dissection and Horner’s syndrome. The patient’s history, physical examination and imaging are essential for management of this condition. Three-dimensional reconstructive computed tomographic (CT) scan remains the gold standard for diagnosis, as is shown in our case . Eagle syndrome is commonly treated either with conservative methods (e.g. analgesics, anticonvulsants, local injections) or surgically (intraoral or extraoral approach). Conclusion: Eagle syndrome is rare and difficult to diagnose. Various specialists are involved in its management. Proper diagnosis and treatment are significant due to its potentially serious complications. Surgical treatment is more definitive and provides long lasting relief.","PeriodicalId":164809,"journal":{"name":"Hellenic Archives of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115313101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
