“…Ali et al 2 reported the case of a patient with a TMJ ganglion cyst who presented with auricle paresthesia that was thought to have arisen from compression of the auriculotemporal nerve. Albright et al 1 previously described a patient with a synovial cyst arising from the TMJ who had erosion of the temporal bone into the external auditory canal. Otherwise, symptoms from cysts arising from the TMJ have been relatively confined to the location of origin, with local symptoms such as pain, clicking with jaw opening, or limited range of jaw motion.…”

“…2,3 Ganglion cysts arising from the TMJ are more common in middle-aged women than in men or women of other ages, and patients with these lesions usually present with swelling and minimal to no pain in the preauricular area. 1,4,6,8 We report the case of a patient with a large ganglion cyst of the TMJ with unilateral intracranial extension in whom facial nerve palsy was the initial presenting symptom. We believe this is the first such case reported in the literature.…”

Ganglion cysts arising from the temporomandibular joint are rare entities that often present with swelling and minimal to no pain in the preauricular region. To the authors' knowledge, a temporomandibular joint ganglion cyst occurring with acute facial nerve palsy and intracranial extension has never been reported. The patient in the current case initially underwent treatment for Bell palsy and then draining of the cyst at an outside hospital with no relief of symptoms. Repeat MR imaging showed an increase in the size of the cystic, enhancing, middle fossa lesion measuring 4 cm. Resection of the lesion was undertaken using a middle fossa approach. After a satisfactory surgical decompression, the patient demonstrated a significant recovery in her facial palsy over a 3-month period of time. This case presents new clinical and radiographic findings associated with these lesions.

“…The TMJ is a synovial joint with more than 50 cases of (extraneural) cysts reported in the literature. Extraneural cysts in this location can be asymptomatic or symptomatic (causing neural symptoms due to extrinsic nerve compression 3,4,8,23,33 or mastication difficulties because of the mass 2,7,20,32 ). They are derived from the TMJ via non-neural pedicles and can extend in different directions, even intraosseously 2,8,16,26 or intracranially 18,23,33 (Fig.…”

abbreviatioNs MIP = maximum intensity projection; TMJ = temporomandibular joint. submitted April 9, 2014. accepted December 10, 2014. iNclude wheN citiNg Published online February 6, 2015; DOI: 10.3171/2014.12.JNS14798. disclosure The authors report no conflict of interest concerning the materials or methods used in this study or the findings specified in this paper. The authors describe the case of an intraneural ganglion cyst involving a cranial nerve (V3), which was found to have a joint connection in support of an articular origin within the cranial nerves. An inferior alveolar intraneural cyst was incidentally discovered on a plain radiograph prior to edentulation. It was resected from within the mandibular canal with no joint connection perceived at surgery. Histologically, the cyst was confirmed to be an intraneural ganglion cyst. Reinterpretation of the preoperative CT scan showed the cyst arising from the temporomandibular joint. This case is consistent with the articular (synovial) theory of intraneural ganglion cysts. An anatomical explanation and potential joint connection are provided for this case as well as several other cases of intraneural cysts in the literature, and thus unifying cranial nerve involvement with accepted concepts of intraneural ganglion cyst formation and propagation.

Ganglion cysts are the most common benign tumors of the wrist and hand; however, ganglion cysts associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are a rare finding. In this report, we present a case of a ganglion cyst found in the external auditory canal (EAC). This case is distinctive as there are currently no published reports of a ganglion cyst originally presenting as an EAC mass without anterior canal wall erosion.
