Abstract

Calcium plays a critical role in cellular functions, neural transmission, membrane stabilization, bone structure, blood coagulation and intracellular signaling. The condition in which the ionized calcium level in the plasma is below 4.2 mg/dl is called hypocalcemia. Tetany is one of the most important clinical presentations of severe hypocalcemia. Temperomandibular joint dislocations can result from various causes including drugs, trauma, dental and airway related interventions. We present a case of jaw dislocation resulting from a hypocalcemia related tetany, which developed as a late complication of a thyroidectomy operation.

Özet

Kalsiyum hücre fonksiyonları, nöral ileti, membran stabilitesi, kemik yapısı, kan koagulasyonu ve intraselluler sinyalizasyonda kritik rol oynar. Serum iyonize kalsiyumunun 4,2 mg/dl’nin altında olmasına hipokalsemi denir. Ciddi hipokalseminin en önemli klinik prezantasyonlarından biri tetanidir. Temporo mandibüler eklem çıkığı ilaçlar, travma, dental ve havayolu girişimleri gibi pek çok nedenden sonra ortaya çıkabilir. Biz troidektomi sonrası geç komplikasyon olarak gelişen hipokalseminin neden olduğu tetaniye bağlı çene çıkığı gelişen hastamızı sunuyoruz.
