A case of extraarticular temporomandibular ankylosis due to progressive ossifying myositis is reported. The local pathology appeared 13 years after the initial generalized symptomatic onset. CT scan helps to the diagnosis. Despite surgical therapy, the pathology reappears so we conclude to the unique efficiency of medical therapy: corticosteroids by pulse therapy. A review of the literature on the subject was made. A discussion ends the publication.
报告了一例因进行性骨化性肌炎导致的关节外颞下颌关节强直病例。局部病变在最初全身性症状出现13年后出现。CT扫描有助于诊断。尽管进行了手术治疗，但病变仍复发，因此我们得出结论，药物治疗具有独特疗效：脉冲疗法使用皮质类固醇。对该主题的文献进行了综述。讨论结束了该出版物。
