  • Title: [Myositis ossificans of the pterygoid and temporal muscles with metachronous contralateral involvement].
    Author: Salgarelli A, Magnato R, Carminati R, Barbaglio A, Nocini PF.
    Journal: Minerva Stomatol; 1997 May; 46(5):259-65. PubMed ID: 9265096.
    Abstract:
    After reviewing the literature, the authors report a case of myositis ossificans of the right pterygoid and temporalis muscles in a patient undergoing surgery to remove the left medial pterygoid muscle owing to the same pathology. The metachronous localisation in contralateral masticatory muscles compared to the primary site leads the authors to emphasize the post-traumatic and iatrogenic etiology of this rare pathology. In the light of their experience, they underline the importance of a precise diagnosis and surgical exeresis, followed by cautious rehabilitation with the least trauma, if necessary backed by appropriate medical treatment.
