J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2023 Aug;81(8):956-960. doi: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.04.001. Epub 2023 Apr 11.

Abstract

Temporomandibular joint intra-articular disorders are commonly managed using arthroscopic-assisted procedures. Arthroscopic procedures are minimally invasive, generally successful, and report a low frequency of complications. Vascular complications are particularly uncommon. This case report summarizes the diagnosis and management of jugular vein thrombosis following temporomandibular joint arthroscopy.
