Locked jaw in polymyalgia rheumatica.
Polymyalgia rheumatica is a common disease affecting the elderly population. Symptoms and signs are often nonspecific, including pain and stiffness in the proximal muscles, anorexia, fatigue, depression, weight loss, fever and temporal headaches. We would like to report a case of polymyalgia rheumatica with locked jaw, a feature yet unrecorded.
