  • Title: Trismus resulting from central nervous system lesion.
    Author: Freitag V, Schulz A.
    Journal: J Maxillofac Surg; 1976 Dec; 4(4):216-9. PubMed ID: 1070505.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of unusual trismus are reported, occurring in patients with lesions of the central nervous system. On the basis of the clinical and electromyographical findings and observation of the course of the trismus this is interpreted as a symptom of a lesion of the brain stem, causing a dis-synergism of the masticatory muscles.
