title: Stylomandibular fusion complicating recurrent bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis.
abstract: Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is debilitating, and difficult to manage because it recurs. Recurrent bilateral ankylosis is further complicated by the fusion of the styloid process and the mandible. We report such a case, and to our knowledge no similar case has been reported previously.
