Spontaneous dislocation of the mandible is a well-described clinical entity with which the ophthalmologist may not be familiar. However, the widespread use of intravenous sedation places susceptible individuals at risk for the development of dislocation of the mandible. The authors describe a patient who underwent routine cataract surgery and suffered a dislocation of the mandible that initially went unrecognized. Ophthalmic surgeons who use intravenous sedation need to be aware of this complication and need to recognize the symptoms so that patients may receive timely attention.
下颌骨自发性脱位是一种有详细描述的临床病症，眼科医生可能对此并不熟悉。然而，静脉镇静的广泛使用使易感个体面临下颌骨脱位的风险。作者描述了一名接受常规白内障手术并发生下颌骨脱位但最初未被识别的患者。使用静脉镇静的眼科外科医生需要意识到这种并发症，并需要识别其症状，以便患者能够得到及时治疗。
