Abstract:
Oro-facial dyskinesia (OFD) is involuntary, abnormal, uncontrolled and stereotyped movements,
consisting of forehead furrowing, eye opening and closing, smacking and pursing of the lips, lateral
deviation and protrusion of the tongue, and occasionally lateral deviation and protrusion of the jaw.1
OFD is known to have various complications including speech difficulty, chewing and eating disorders,
and social embarrassment; facial muscle stiffness, mucosal and gingival traumatic lesions. In addition,
it may leads to cranio-mandibular joint (TMJ) complications in the presence of intense and prolonged
abnormal movements, with pain and degeneration.1,2 There is no previous report of TMJ dislocation
due to OFD. In this report, we describe a patient who developed bilateral anterior TMJ dislocation
due to OFD which occurred following intra-cranial hemorrhage (ICH).
