The chronic progression of this disease can lead to the destruction of surrounding bony structures and can ultimately affect function. Currently, in English Literature, there have been few cases published on condylar osteomyelitis. Interestingly, regardless of proximity, there have only been two other reported cases of condylar osteomyelitis subsequent to extractions of the upper maxillary third molar. We report a case of a 27-year-old female who presented with an acute episode of condylar osteomyelitis after a simple extraction of an upper left third molar. Several courses of antibiotics did not alleviate her severe trismus, paresthesia, or extensive preauricular collection. Three surgical interventions showed negative growth on numerous swabs. However, CT scans and an MRI confirmed extensive osteomyelitis along the left head, neck, and the angle of the mandible. Following inpatient IV antibiotics, the patient was discharged with a PICC line to allow for long-term treatment. An improvement in function, pain, and swelling was seen on discharge. However, due to the nature of this disease she was monitored for 2 years and due to joint collapse has been listed for alloplastic replacement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_189_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]],"date-time":"2024-03-20T11:00:50Z","timestamp":1710932450000},"page":"154-156","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Condylar osteomyelitis: A case report of a rare complication of maxillary dental extraction"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Oliver","family":"Dugena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Senior House Surgeon, Queens Medical Centre, Derby Road, Lenton, Nottingham NG72UH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Sidebottom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Spire Nottingham Hospital, Tollerton Lane, Nottingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"322","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2016.08.018","article-title":"Osteomyelitis of the mandibular condyle: A report of 2 cases with review of the literature","volume":"75","author":"Chattopadhyay","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R2-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.1007\/s10006-010-0216-y","article-title":"Primary osteomyelitis of the mandibular condyle-a rare case","volume":"15","author":"Zemann","year":"2011","journal-title":"Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"754","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2015.11.003","article-title":"Temporomandibular joint septic arthritis and mandibular osteomyelitis arising from an odontogenic infection: A case report and review of the literature","volume":"74","author":"Gams","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R4-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oooo.2012.01.009","article-title":"Hard and soft tissue changes of osteomyelitis of the jaws on CT images","volume":"114","author":"An","year":"2012","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol"},{"key":"R5-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"394","DOI":"10.1067\/moe.2001.117810","article-title":"Treatment of chronic osteomyelitis in Korea","volume":"92","author":"Kim","year":"2001","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol"},{"key":"R6-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"523","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coms.2007.07.001","article-title":"Contemporary concepts in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis","volume":"19","author":"Coviello","year":"2007","journal-title":"Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am"},{"key":"R7-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcms.2003.07.008","article-title":"Is primary chronic osteomyelitis a uniform disease?Proposal of a classification based on a retrospective analysis of patients treated in the past 30 years","volume":"32","author":"Baltensperger","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Craniomaxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R8-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1294","DOI":"10.1016\/S0278-2391(10)80131-4","article-title":"Osteomyelitis of the jaws: A 50-year perspective","volume":"51","author":"Hudson","year":"1993","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R9-20240908","article-title":"Secondary chronic osteomyelitis of the mandible: A resistant disease successfully treated with bisphosphonate therapy","author":"Cheng","year":"2020","journal-title":"Oral Surg"}],"container-title":["National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/njms.njms_189_22","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T18:29:19Z","timestamp":1787768959000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/njms.njms_189_22"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/njms.njms_189_22","relation":{},"ISSN":["0975-5950","2229-3418"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0975-5950","type":"print"},{"value":"2229-3418","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2022-10-29","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-03-06","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
