نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective: To report a new therapeutic tactic for the old dislocation of intact mandibular condyle into the middle cranial fossa, which is extremely rare while the reported treatment methods are varied. Methods: The subject was a 29-year-old female who was diagnosed with old dislocation of intact left mandibular condyle into the middle cranial fossa and left zygomatic arch fracture. Gap arthroplasty combined with implanting the temporalis myofascial flap to the gap was performed. Results: Both her mouth opening ability and mandibular movement almost restored to normal level six months after surgery. Conclusion: The gap arthroplasty combined with temporalis myofascial flap implanting is useful in the treatment of old dislocation of condyle into the middle cranial fossa.
