  • Infectious myositis, an infection of the skeletal muscles, is a rare condition and potentially life-threatening if not detected and treated in the early stages. This clinical entity may arise from various pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. A propagation of contiguous infection, penetrating trauma, vascular insufficiency, or hematogenous spreading of microorganisms can cause infectious myositis. Though several cases have been reported in large muscle groups in the lower extremities, there are only a few reports on infectious myositis of the masticatory muscles. We report three cases of infectious myositis presenting jaw pain and trismus. Unlike a common head and neck infection caused by the spreading of odontogenic origin, the early diagnosis of infectious myositis was difficult because no specific lesion suspected to be the infection source was observed in the physical examination and the plain radiographs. Advanced imaging modalities such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and laboratory evaluation is useful for the early detection of infectious myositis.

  • 국한성 화골성 근염은 근육내에 섬유조직과 이소성 골이 형성되는 질환으로 외상성 화골성 근염으로도 알려져 있으며 외상, 외과적 술식, 지속적인 자극에 의하여 근육이 골화되는 질환이다. 주로 팔, 다리 근육에서 발생되며, 저작근에서 발생되는 예는 드물다. 저작근에 발생된 경우 주된 임상증상은 개구제한이며 환자는 이환부위의 동통이나 불편함을 호소하기도 한다. 본 연구는 30대 남성이 개구제한을 주소로 내원하여 임상검사와 방사선검사 후 저작근중에서 좌측 측두근과 외측 익돌근에서 발생된 국한성 화골성 근염으로 진단 내려진 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

  • 8년령 중성화 수컷 말티즈가 입을 열기 어려운 증상으로 내원하였다. 2M 항체 검사를 통해 저작근염을 진단하였다. 코르티코스테로이드로 처치 후 턱관절의 가동범위가 증가하였고, 처치 5개월 후에는 거의 정상으로 돌아왔다. 저작근염이 발생한 개에서 초기 발견 및 적극적인 면역억제 치료는 예후 향상을 위해 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

  • The limited mouth opening, also known as trismus, can result from temporomandibular joint disorders, infection, neoplasm, trauma, and abnormal anatomic structure like coronoid hyperplasia. Head and neck cancer patients often complain of limited mouth opening, which is usually induced by myofibrotic contracture of masticatory muscle. But clinicians should consider any reasons such as infection or cancer growth and metastasis if trismus gets worse or pain develops. We report the case of the patient, who was diagnosed with myxofibrosarcoma on nasal cavity. He had suffered from trismus after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. However, pain had developed and trismus had worsened. He was diagnosed with infratemporal space abscess and myositis of masticatory muscles.

  • The Temporomandibural joint(TMJ) is one of the most frequently used joint in the body as $1,500{\sim}2,000$ times per day for the activities of chewing, swallowing, talking, yawing and sneezing. The TMJ are formed by condylar process of mandible and mandible fossa of temporal bone, separated by an articular disc. This articular disc divides into two cavities as upper cavity and lower cavity. The gliding movement occurs in the upper cavity of the joint, whereas hinge movement occurs in the lower cavity. The movements that are allowed at the TMJ are opening, closing, protrusion, retraction and lateral movement. A cause of TMJ dysfunction are capsulitis, internal derangement, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, infection and inflammation near the joint, trauma on joint, ankylosis, subluxation or dislocation of joint, injury of articular disc, myositis, muscle contracture or spasm, myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome, dyskinesia of masticatory muscles, developmental abnormality, tumor, connective tissue disease, fibrosis, malocclusion, swallowing abnormality, wrong habits such as bite nail or hair, bruxism, psycological stress and Costen syndrome etc. Assessment of TMJ dysfunction consist of interview, observation, functional examination, palpation, reflex test, joint play test, electromyography and radiologic examination and behavioral and psycological assessment etc.
