Abstract

Ankylosis is the
fusion of joint surfaces by bone or fibrous tissue. Temporomandibular joint
(TMJ) ankylosis may cause difficulty in chewing, speech, oral hygiene
maintenance, and esthetic disfigurement. 
This condition can be unilateral or bilateral, complete or incomplete.
TMJ ankylosis may occur due to various factors, such as trauma, local and
systemic inflammatory conditions, neoplasms, and TMJ infection. Trauma due
to forceps delivery causing bilateral TMJ ankylosis is rare. We report a case
with difficulty in mouth opening, eating, speech, oral hygiene maintenance,
facial disfigurement as a result of bilateral TMJ ankylosis caused due to
trauma by forceps delivery.  This report
implores upon preventing such disabling complications due to forceps delivery.

 

Ankiloz, kemik ya
da fibröz doku ile eklem yüzünün füzyonudur. Temporomandibular eklem (TME)
ankilozu, çiğneme, konuşma, oral hijyen sağlanması ve estetik açıdan şekil bozukluğuna
neden olabilir. Bu durum, tek taraflı(unilateral) ya da iki taraflı
(bilateral) , tam ya da tam olmayan biçimde olabilir. TME ankilozu, travma,
local ya da sistemik enflamatuar durumlar, kanserler ve TME enjeksiyonları gibi
birçok nedenden oluşabilir. Biz, forceps uygulaması sonucu iki taraflı
(bilateral) TME ankilozunun neden olduğu ağzını açma, yemek yeme, konuşma, oral
hijyen sağlama güçlüğü ve fasiyal şekil bozukluğu olan olguyu sunuyoruz. Bu
sunum, forcepsle doğum uygulaması sırasında buna benzer komplikasyonları
önlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
