ABSTRACT

La luxación de la articulación temporomandibular (ATM) es un trastorno que generalmente se desconoce y que supone un reto para el personal sanitario que lo recibe. La etiología es variable. Puede producirse de manera espontánea por causas relacionadas con la apertura de la boca como el bostezo, risa, canto, entre otros. Clínicamente el paciente presenta boca abierta en forma de bostezo, estado de ansiedad y dolor. El tratamiento de elección es su reducción mediante la maniobra de Nelaton, que debe realizarse a la mayor brevedad. Se presenta un caso de un paciente con luxación anterior bilateral de la ATM al que se le realiza maniobra de Nelaton con éxito, sin la necesidad de administración de relajantes y analgésicos en el momento de su ejecución


A dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an event that, despite being unusual, supposes a challenge for the health's personnel. The etiology is variable and can occur spontaneously due to causes related to the opening of the mouth such as yawning, laughing, singing... Clinically the patient has an open mouth in the form of yawning, anxiety and pain. The treatment of choice is its reduction through the Nelaton maneuver that must be carried out as soon as possible. We present a case of a patient with a bilateral anterior dislocation of the TMJ who underwent successful Nelaton maneuvers, without the need for administration of relaxants and analgesics at the time of execution
