TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Superolateral dislocation of the intact mandibular condyle into the temporal fossa: review of the literature and report of a case JO - Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology, and endodontics A1 - Bu, Shou-Shan A1 - Jin, Song-Liang A1 - Yin, Lin SP - 185 EP - 189 VL - 103 IS - 2 N2 - Anterior dislocation of the mandibular condyle is common, but superolateral dislocation is quite rare. Because of its rarity, this type of dislocation is often misdiagnosed or completely overlooked. We describe an additional case of superolateral dislocation of the intact condyle into the temporal fossa. We review all of the available English literature on superolateral dislocation and discuss a causative mechanism, the diagnostic features, and clinical management.
