Zygomatic exostosis

Int J Oral Surg. 1983 Apr;12(2):124-6. doi: 10.1016/s0300-9785(83)80009-x.

Abstract

This report describes a rare case of restricted mandibular opening caused by zygomatic exostosis and hyperplasia of the coronoid process. Computed tomography revealed the presence of a pseudojoint between the exostosis and the enlarged coronoid process; the bony restriction was surgically removed through an intraoral approach. Only 3 similar cases have been reported in the literature.
