title: Pseudoankylosis of the mandible as a result of methyl methacrylate-induced inflammatory cicatricial contracture of the temporal muscle after cranioplasty.
abstract: Pseudoankylosis of the mandible after intracranial surgical procedure has been widely reported, and is usually caused by fibrosis of the temporal muscle as a result of injury during the operation. We present an unusual case of mandibular pseudoankylosis as a result of methyl methacrylate-induced aseptic inflammatory cicatricial contracture of the temporal muscle after cranioplasty.
