Abstract
An unusual case of myositis ossificans of the medial pterygoid muscle has been discussed. It is important to know the exact cause of the temporomandibular joint ankylosis, for successful treatment. Computed tomographic scan and panoramic radiographs are essential diagnostic aids for evaluating conditions such as myositis ossificans. Myositis ossificans can be one of the causes of extra-articular temporomandibular joint ankylosis.Entities:
