颞下颌关节 (TMJ) 的化脓性关节炎很少见，几乎完全局限于成人；我们只知道以前描述过的儿童病例只有四个。我们介绍了一名 6 岁女孩，患有不明原因的颞下颌关节化脓性关节炎。我们强调需要及时诊断和干预，以防止严重后果。 (C) 2007 年英国口腔颌面外科医师协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is rare, and is almost exclusively confined to adults; we know of only four cases previously described in children. We present a 6-year-old girl who had septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint with no obvious cause. We stress the need for prompt diagnosis and intervention to prevent serious consequences.
