[Permanent constriction of the jaws due to an osteoma of the temporal muscle. Apropos of 2 cases].
Authors report 2 cases of pseudoankylosis of the mandible secondary to myositis ossificans of the temporal muscle. Diagnostic workup is based on a clear history of trauma and clinic and X ray examinations. In the treatment of such a lesion the calcified part of the temporal muscle must be excised and an intraoral coronoidectomy performed to prevent further recurrence. Selected jaw exercises are useful too.
