Abstract
|
|
|
|
Arthrocentesis and lavage is a conservative method to treat temporomandibular joint disorders by discharging substances that cause inflammation and pain in the temporomandibular joint and resolving temporomandibular joint adhesions. The temporomandibular joint is susceptible to malignant external otitis and skull-base osteomyelitis due to its anatomical proximity. This case is a treatment of performing arthrocentesis and lavage in a patient with secondary acute abscess formation in the temporomandibular joint derived from primary skull-base osteomyelitis caused by malignant external otitis.
