Case history

A 28-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital on November 26 with a diagnosis of ankylosis of the left temporomandibular joint and osteomyelitis.

One year before the patient had had an upper left molar extracted. Following this she experienced chills, and during the next week a swelling anterior and interior to the left ear and trismus developed. One month after the extraction there was little improvement. The patient was admitted to hospital, and incision and drainage was performed. About one-half cup of pus was evacuated anterior to the ear. This relieved the trismus so that she could open the mouth about 1% inches. Another incision and drainage was performed two months later, and four months after this the patient was readmitted to hospital and received penicillin (75,000 units every three hours) for nine days. One month later another incision and drainage was performed. She made monthly visits to her dentist for treatment.
