    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: A 32-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital following a motor vehicle accident. Her chief complaint was severe limited mouth opening and unilateral open bite on the left. METHODS: Axial and coronal CT scans showed penetration of right condyle into the middle cranium through the fractured roof of glenoid fossa. A craniotomy exactly above the glenoid fossa was done. RESULTS: The condyle was reduced and the glenoid fossa was reconstructed. CONCLUSION: On postoperative follow-up at 6 months, the patient had no complaint, but there was a small deviation to the affected side on opening.
