“…The anesthetic management of known TMJ ankylosis has been well documented. 1,5–7 This case is an unusual presentation of undiagnosed TMJ ankylosis masked by the patient’s dementia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of presumed TMJ ankylosis discovered only after induction.…”

Anesthetic Implications of Previously Undiagnosed Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis: A Case Report

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is characterized by bony fusion that limits TMJ mobility. We present the case of an elderly woman who was brought to the operating room for dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia. The patient had an undiagnosed TMJ ankylosis, which was discovered only after induction of anesthesia due to her nonverbal status and advanced dementia. The surgical team canceled the case due to limited access to the surgical field. We discuss the factors that suggest TMJ ankylosis and propose the perioperative management when TMJ ankylosis is suspected but unconfirmed.

Intubation of a patient with temporomandibular joint ankylosis is a challenge for every anaesthesiologist. Dependable anaesthetic technique is most desired by all anaesthesiologists. The purpose of the present article is to have a brief overview of temporomandibular joint ankylosis, its clinical features, management and to review literature demonstrating various intubation techniques available to an anaesthesiologist while managing patients with temporomandibular joint ankylosis.

“…The majority of anesthesiologists focus on the TMJ function evaluation as it relates to optimal intubating conditions [ 7 ]. Difficulties with intubation are especially common in patients with limited mouth opening such as those with TMJ ankyloses [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. However, proper TMJ assessment is required both before and after anesthesia in order to avoid or minimize temporomandibular complications [ 6 , 12 ].…”

Background: Orotracheal intubation has been considered a risk factor for the development or exacerbation of disorders related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate TMJ assessment performed by anesthetists in Florida when conducting orotracheal intubation. Methods: An online questionnaire was created using Qualtrics. The survey included 22 questions related to demographics, TMJ related to anesthesia procedures, and education/awareness regarding TMJ related to intubation. Descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation analysis were performed. Results: One hundred and eight providers participated (mean 46 years-old ± 12; 59% female). About 50% reported to always evaluate TMJ prior non-emergency intubation. Of those, 56% used an alternative intubation technique based on the TMJ status and 60% never/rarely evaluated TMJ post-intubation. Twenty-five percent reported they did not know of possible intubation effects on TMJ and 47% reported that they did not receive adequate information/education on TMJ management related to intubation in school. After participation, 81% reported to be more aware of the importance of evaluating TMJ. Conclusions: Only half of the providers who frequently performed intubation in Florida evaluated TMJ prior to intubation. This survey increased the awareness regarding the importance of evaluating TMJ when conducting intubation. This may contribute to reducing TMJ issues associated with non-emergency intubations.
