[Temporomandibular staphylococcal arthritis].
Two cases of temporo-mandibular joint infection with several blood cultures positive for Staphylococcus aureus are reported. Positive diagnosis depended on the importance of the pain and trismus, as well as the lack of abscess formation. The rapid development of ankylosis requires treatment to be started as soon as the first signs appear.
