Temporomandibular joint destruction in mucolipidosis type III necessitating gastrostomy insertion.

UNLABELLED: Mucolipidosis III is a genetically heterogeneous lysosomal disorder characterised by progressive symptoms and signs, the commonest being skeletal pain due to bony destruction. We describe a patient who developed severe destruction of the temporomandibular joints leading to difficulties with speech and feeding, necessitating gastrostomy insertion. CONCLUSION: Temporomandibular joint involvement has not been previously reported in mucolipidosis III.
