Abstract
Although temporomandibular joint involvement is frequent in ankylosing spondylitis, ankylosis seldom ensues. A patient with a temporomandibular joint ankylosis secondary to ankylosing spondylitis is presented. Treatment consisted of an osteoarthrectomy, followed by a costochondral ribgraft. A follow-up period of 39 months showed a satisfactory result.Entities:
