title: Transzygomatic coronoidectomy as a treatment for pseudoankylosis of the mandible after transtemporal surgery.
abstract: Pseudoankylosis of the mandible after a transtemporal operation is rare. In patients with severely limited mouth opening, a transzygomatic approach is the approach of choice. We report a case of pseudoankylosis of the mandible that was successfully treated by transzygomatic coronoidectomy.
