Abstract
Pseudoankylosis of the mandible after intracranial surgical procedure has b een widely reported, and is usually caused by fibrosis of the temporal musc le as a result of injury during the operation. We present an unusual case o f mandibular pseudoankylosis as a result of methyl methacrylate-induced ase ptic inflammatory cicatricial contracture of the temporal muscle after cran ioplasty.
