Condylar resorption of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a poorly understood phenomenon that is the subject of much controversy. The following case report depicts a unique case of condylar resorption (CR) in a 49-year-old female patient with essential thrombocythemia who underwent arthrocentesis of the TMJ. The exact cause of the CR is unclear but it is speculated that it was likely due to hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications during surgery secondary to an elevated platelet count.
颞下颌关节髁突吸收是一种了解甚少且备受争议的现象。以下病例报告描述了一名49岁患有原发性血小板增多症的女性患者颞下颌关节髁突吸收（CR）的独特病例，该患者接受了颞下颌关节穿刺术。CR的确切原因尚不清楚，但据推测可能是由于手术期间血小板计数升高继发的出血和血栓形成并发症所致。
