Two cases of TMJ pain dysfunction syndrome were diagnosed and treated between 1990 and 1992. The two cases occurred in females in the 4th decade of life. In the two cases, there was evidence of psychogenic origin but no evidence of organic origin. These cases are being presented because of the common psychogenic origin as aetiological factor in both cases and the quick response to treatment as soon as cause of the disorder was discovered.
1990年至1992年间诊断并治疗了两例颞下颌关节疼痛功能紊乱综合征。这两例均发生在40多岁的女性身上。在这两例中,有精神源性病因的证据,但没有器质性病因的证据。之所以呈现这些病例,是因为两例都有常见的精神源性病因作为致病因素,而且一旦发现疾病的病因,治疗反应迅速。
