Abstract

Spontaneous herniation of temporomandibular joint into the external auditory canal through the foramen of Huschke is a very rare condition. We describe a case of spontaneous temporomandibular joint herniation in a 35-year-old male, who presented with otorrhea and aural fullness. The herniation was repaired using collagen mesh. A literature review of all the previous reported cases of spontaneous temporomandibular joint was done to study the presenting clinical features and the method of surgical repair.
