ABSTRACT

Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an uncommon condition, caused by hematic bacterial migration or direct migration of other head and neck infections. We report a 41 year old female who presented a right temporomandibular joint involvement, with bone destruction of the mandibular condyle and an infectious process spreading to the temporal space, following a necrotizing medial and external otitis with associated mastoiditis. A septic arthritis of the TMJ by continuity was diagnosed and treated with antimicrobials, TMJ arthrocentesis and occlusal stabilization, with a positive evolution. However, the patient remains in control due a secondary TMJ osteoarthritis caused by the septic arthritis.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Collect maxillofacial trauma data, specifically in orbital reconstruction, in adult patients to make an evaluation of the clinical results. Material and Methods: Reviewing medical records in a three years period (January 2009-December 2011), of patients with orbital fracture reconstruction who attended the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of Hospital Mutual de Seguridad, Chile, in a retrospective study. Results: There where a total of 87 patients with 88 orbital fractures diagnosis, 30 patients go to orbital reconstruction with orbital titanium mesh. The most common cause where accidents and violence traffic. It was observed a 6.7 percent of complications. Discussion: The orbital fracture pattern and the results cause diplopia as the main complication. Furthermore, we can conclude that the orbital titanium mesh is an effective material and allows a well adaptation and lower complications.


Objetivo: Obtener información del trauma maxilofacial, específicamente de la reconstrucción orbitaria, en pacientes adultos para la evaluación de sus resultados clínicos. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo en todos los casos de fracturas orbitarias que asistieron al servicio de cirugía maxilofacial del hospital clínico Mutual de Seguridad de Santiago de Chile. En el período de 3 años (enero de 2009-diciembre de 2011). La necesidad de reconstrucción fue el criterio de inclusión. Resultados: Se registraron 87 pacientes con 88 diagnósticos de fracturas orbitarias, de estos, 30 pacientes debieron someterse a reconstrucción orbitaria mediante malla de titanio. Las causas más comunes fueron el accidente de tránsito 34 por ciento y las agresiones 30 por ciento. Se observó una tasa de complicaciones de 6,7 por ciento. Discusión: El patrón de fractura orbitaria observado y nuestros resultados muestran a la diplopía como principal complicación, además podemos señalar que las mallas de titanio son un material eficaz que permite una apropiada adaptación y bajas complicaciones.
