Updated review of traumatic dislocation of the mandibular condyle into the middle cranial fossa

Traumatic dislocation of the mandibular condyle into the middle cranial fossa (DMCCF) is a rare event following maxillofacial trauma. Treatment may be a closed or open reduction (with or without craniotomy) and arthroplasty procedures might be necessary for long-standing cases. The aim of the present study was to perform an integrative review of traumatic DMCCF cases reported in an electronic database, and to report a case in which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage occurred after open treatment.
