  • Title: Isolated temporomandibular synovitis as unique presentation of juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
    Author: Martini G, Bacciliero U, Tregnaghi A, Montesco MC, Zulian F.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 2001 Jul; 28(7):1689-92. PubMed ID: 11469480.
    Abstract:
    Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement is quite frequent in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We describe a 15-year-old girl with isolated TMJ arthritis presenting as a unique manifestation of JIA, and its successful treatment. She underwent arthroscopic synovectomy followed by intraarticular steroid injection. Early use of synovectomy and intraarticular steroids in TMJ arthritis may reduce pain, improve jaw function, and prevent irreversible deformities.
