Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation in children is extremely rare. In our case, an 18-month-old child presented with a history of inability to close her mouth. To confirm the clinical diagnosis, a computed tomogram was taken. Clinical examination and X-ray of the TMJ revealed bilateral TMJ dislocation. Bilateral TMJ reduction was achieved manually after giving analgesia and procedural sedation. This is one of the few case reports of an acute dislocation in a toddler.
儿童颞下颌关节(TMJ)脱位极为罕见。在我们的病例中,一名18个月大的儿童出现无法闭嘴的病史。为明确临床诊断,进行了计算机断层扫描。颞下颌关节的临床检查和X线检查显示双侧颞下颌关节脱位。在给予镇痛和程序性镇静后,通过手法成功实现了双侧颞下颌关节复位。这是为数不多的关于幼儿急性脱位的病例报告之一。
