Pied Piper syndrome--case report.
A previously unreported involvement of the temporomandibular joint in a patient with a confirmed diagnosis of synovial osteochondromatosis is described. While etiology is not addressed, suggestive explanations for the clinical symptoms and possible recurrence prevention have been expanded upon. Despite confirming evidence, the author feels that this process may have both an urban and rural manifestation. However at present, the only references have appeared in the ancient literature of Aesop and Grimm.
