Abstract

When conservative treatments prove insufficient in alleviating symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), arthrocentesis may be considered as an effective option. Although arthrocentesis generally has a low complication rate, there have been reported serious complications. This case report presents the development of subcutaneous emphysema in the buccal tissue following TMJ arthrocentesis. Thorough investigation into potential complications and increasing awareness are vital to ensure patient safety and improve treatment outcomes.

Özet

Temporomandibular bozuklukların (TMB) tedavisinde konservatif tedaviler semptomları hafifletmede yetersiz kaldığında, artosentez etkili bir seçenek olarak değerlendirilebilir. Artrosentez genellikle düşük komplikasyon oranına sahip olsa da, bildirilmiş ciddi komplikasyonlar da mevcuttur. Bu vaka raporunda TME artrosentezini takiben bukkal dokuda subkutan amfizem gelişimi sunulmaktadır. Potansiyel komplikasyonların daha ayrıntılı bir şekilde araştırılması ve farkındalığın arttırılması, hasta güvenliğini sağlamak ve tedavi sonuçlarını iyileştirmek için hayati öneme sahiptir.
