“…This, in turn, leads to increased intraarticular pressure with subsequent diminished joint blood flow, ischaemia and necrosis of the cartilage. 1,6 Intra-articular cartilage damage may be seen after only three days, with irreversible changes in joint structure occurring as early as seven days. 1,6 Acute TMJ infections manifest clinically as severe joint pain, trismus, acute malocclusion, contralateral deviation on opening, preauricular erythema and swelling.…”

“…Therefore the existance of bacteria is not clinically significant but the type of bacteria is the important thing. The typical bacteria causing TMJ infection are Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and haemophilus influenzae 2,13 .

(J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2011;37:510-4) An intracapsular and pericapsular infection of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is rare. The invasion of bacteria into the joint space can occur through several routes. Among them, hematogenous spread is most common. This report describes three cases of abscess formation in the TMJ (intracapsular and pericapsular infection). The patients were treated with supportive care and surgical intervention (incision and drainage) under hospitalization, and their symptoms had improved. Pain of the TMJ is a typical symptom of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). On the other hand, an infection of the TMJ can also cause pain on the affected side, and can be misdiagnosed as routine TMD. Therefore, the possibility of an infection of the TMJ cavity should be considered when treating TMD.Key words: Infection, Temporomandibular joint, Temporomandibular joint disorders, Septic arthritis [paper submitted 2011. 6. 20 / revised 2011. 9. 6 / accepted 2011. 10. 12] infection' for convenience in this report. TMJ infection is required to be carefully examined since its initial symptoms start from pain and limitation of jaw movement similary to common temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). Failure to initially diagnose TMJ infection may results in aggravation of symptoms and development of complications.This report describes three cases of TMJ infection which were successfully treated. II. Cases report Case 1A 46-year-old male visited the emergency room complaining of severe pain on left preauricular region and difficulty of jaw movement. The patient stated that he visited other hospital for the chief complaints of pain around the left TMJ before 5 days. He didn't get any examination there. He was diagnosised as common TMD and received some medications and instruction of mouth opening exercise. But the symptoms were aggravated with severe pain thereafter and visited our hospital. In physical examination, erythematous edema was observed at the left preauricular region, and the patient had a sense of induration

Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be a result of several causes such as trauma, degenerative changes, infection, and space-occupying lesion. When occurring during early childhood, it can result in severe functional disability and facial deformity. Septic arthritis is an uncommon disease associated with systemic and local factors being most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Haemophilus influenzae. This paper presents two unusual cases of TMJ ankylosis following neonatal infections treated surgically and does a literature review about the topic.
