Abstract

The present report described a rare case of mandible deviation with longstanding unilateral temporomandibular joint dislocation caused by lateral pterygoid muscle hyaline degeneration. A 28-year-old male was referred for mandible deviation for 2 years. It was found that the left condyle was dislocated just below the articular eminence with the dilated capsule in magnetic resonance imaging images. After surgical dissection of the lateral pterygoid muscle, which was excessively attached to the condyle, the left condyle was reduced, and the patient’s mandibular deviation was greatly improved. The pathologic results showed lateral pterygoid muscle hyaline degeneration.
