Herniation von Weichteilgewebe des Kiefergelenks in den �u�eren Geh�rgang

Abstract: The bone between the external auditory meatus and temporomandibular joint may be destroyed as a result of canaloplasty or malignant otitis externa. This may lead to herniation of the joint capsule into the external auditory canal. Spontaneous herniation through a foramen of Huschke (bony dehiscence in the anterior wall of the tympanic bone) is rare. We present a case of spontaneous herniation with otorrhea.

“…However, years of mastication could have softened the intervening tissue or enlarged the opening, leading to the observed soft tissue herniation. In a worldwide literature search, we were able to find only 14 reported cases (Table I), including the case presented here, of spontaneous TMJ herniation 1,4–12 . Ages ranged from 15 to 68 years, with an average of 55 years; 11 cases were 50 years old or older.…”
