A Case of Spontaneous Temporomandibular Joint Herniation into the External Auditory Canal with Clicking Sound
A bony defect of the external auditory canal (EAC) and herniation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be caused by tumorous conditions, inflammation, trauma, and otologic procedures. Spontaneous TMJ herniation into the EAC can be caused by a congenital bony defect known as patent Huschke's...

pubmed-39365452014-03-20 A Case of Spontaneous Temporomandibular Joint Herniation into the External Auditory Canal with Clicking Sound Kim, Tae Hyun Lee, Sun Kyu Kim, Su Jin Byun, Jae Yong Case Report A bony defect of the external auditory canal (EAC) and herniation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be caused by tumorous conditions, inflammation, trauma, and otologic procedures. Spontaneous TMJ herniation into the EAC can be caused by a congenital bony defect known as patent Huschke's foramen, which is a very rare condition. In our case, an objective clicking sound was produced when the patient opened his mouth. A protruding mass was found in the anterior wall of the EAC during mouth closing, and herniation of the TMJ was confirmed with computed tomography. Therefore, we thought the clicking sound of our case could have resulted from spontaneous TMJ herniation through the patent foramen of Huschke.
