American Journal of Medical Sciences and Medicine. 2018 6 (2). doi: 10.12691/ajmsm-6-2-4
Keywords: temporomandibular joint, ankylosis, epidemiology
Context: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a disabling disease where the main clinical feature is limited mouth opening. Aim: Our study’s aim is to draw epidemiological, clinical and imaging aspects of this disease in Marrakesh. Patients and methods: retrospective study gathering all TMJ ankylosis cases operated between 2008 and 2016 at maxillo-facial surgery department in University Hospital Mohamed VI of Marrakech. Results: a total of 27 cases were included, the mean age was 22,9 years (3-55 years). The sexe-ratio was 0,5. Unilateral cases (81,5%) were more common than bilateral. The most frequent aetiology was trauma (85,2%) followed by infection (7,4%) and one case of ankylosing spondylitis (3,7%). Mouth opening less than 10mm was observed in 67%. According to Topazian Classification, Stage I was predominant (59%). Conclusion: TMJ ankylosis is frequent in our context, especially due to neglected condylar trauma so the best treatment remains the prevention based on early diagnosis and proper management of TMJ trauma.

American Journal of Medical Case Reports. 2018 6 (8). doi: 10.12691/ajmcr-6-8-4
Keywords: Torticollis, neglected, deformities, growth, craniofacial
Context: The neglected congenital muscular torticollis (NCMT) of the adult is rare. It is due to a fibrous retraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Observation: Patient, aged 17, consulted for a neglected congenital muscular torticollis. The Clinical and radiological investigations showed severe craniofacial dysmorphosis. Discussion: NCMT is a common abnormality of the child who must be treated before the age of ten. When neglected, the consequences on craniofacial growth are of order morphological, functional and psychological. We report the case of a NCMT having resulted in severe and dramatic abnormalities of the cephalic extremity.
