- Title
Shear mouth secondary to temporohyoid osteoarthropathy.
- Authors
Grant, M. J.; Barnett, T. P.
- Abstract
Summary: Temporohyoid osteoarthropathy (THO) is a progressive disease of unknown aetiology that can result in pain during normal movement of the tongue and larynx during mastication and deglutition. Shear mouth is a rare, poorly described condition, which may be associated with painful dental disease. This report describes a case of shear mouth attributable to THO. The THO was surgically treated by undertaking a left‐sided ceratohyoidectomy (CHO) and the shear mouth resolved over the course of 18 months.
