    Author: Clauser L, Tieghi R, Polito J, Galiè M.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2006 May; 17(3):590-4. PubMed ID: 16770205.
    Abstract:
    Dislocation of the mandibular condyle into the middle cranial fossa is an uncommon event. A case report is presented based on a patient (32-year-old female) who sustained a traumatic left condyle fracture with superior dislocation into the middle cranial fossa due to a high-speed car accident. The diagnosis was done four months after trauma. Via a preauricular approach, left condylectomy and transposition of temporal muscle flap was performed. Postoperatively, the patient stayed for two weeks with intermaxillary fixation and four months of physical therapy.
