Abstract:
Bradycardia following release of temporomandibular (TM) joint ankylosis is uncommon. We are reporting a case of longstanding TM joint ankylosis, which after release, resulted in significant bradycardia on jaw opening. The possible etiology of this bradycardia is discussed. There is hardly any literature available on this topic.
