J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2023 Jul;81(7):838-840. doi: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.03.011. Epub 2023 Mar 31.

Abstract

Intracranial condylar dislocation to the middle fossa is rare, as it is not reported often. Known cases have an etiology, identified as erosion of the glenoid cavity from joint prostheses and/or traumatic events. As such, this case aims to offer a predisposing reason for the idiopathic condylar dislocation to the middle cranial fossa with nonfunctional limitations.
