ABSTRACT

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) recurrent dislocation is usually associated with jaw hypermobility or articular eminence anatomy. Patients who have stroke experience (CVA) can present joint and muscle tone changes, as laxity ligamentous and appearance of spastic muscle patterns in different parts of the body such as shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and face. This study reported two cases of patients with stroke sequelae who developed chronic dislocation of the jaw. It was concluded that these two clinical conditions appear to have some correlation, further studies with more patients needed to confirm this correlation.


A luxação recorrente da articulação temporo-mandibular ocorre quando o côndilo mandibular move-se para fora da cavidade glenóide e permanece travado anteriormente à eminência articular de forma repetitiva. Pacientes com histórico de acidente vascular cerebral podem apresentar alterações articulares e de tonicidade muscular. O presente estudo relatou dois casos clínicos de pacientes com seqüela de AVC, que desenvolveram luxação crônica da mandíbula. Concluiu-se que essas duas condições clinicas parecem apresentar alguma correlação clínica, sendo ainda necessário estudos com mais pacientes para confirmar tal correlação.
