Limited mouth opening is a common health problem that interferes with eating, makes examination of the oral cavity difficult, and may increase the mortality rate during emergency intubation. Here we introduce a disease designated as masticatory muscle tendon-aponeurosis hyperplasia, which is a new clinical condition of limited mouth opening. Most oral surgeons and dentists are still unaware of this disease condition, thus increasing the risk of incorrect diagnosis as some other disease, such as temporomandibular joint disorder. We will review the clinical features, epidemiology, pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease and also appraise the literature available on the subject.
张口受限是一种常见的健康问题，它会影响进食，使口腔检查变得困难，并且可能会增加紧急插管期间的死亡率。在此，我们介绍一种被称为咀嚼肌腱膜增生症的疾病，这是一种导致张口受限的新的临床病症。大多数口腔外科医生和牙医仍未意识到这种疾病状况，因此增加了误诊为其他疾病（如颞下颌关节紊乱症）的风险。我们将回顾这种疾病的临床特征、流行病学、病理生理学、病因、诊断、治疗和预后，并对该主题的现有文献进行评估。
