Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-5 (October 1983) . - p.601-605 Titre : Temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome: a rare cause of headaches in adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gregory L. HOLMES, Auteur ; Andrew W. ZIMMERMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.601-605 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome has received little attention in the literature on pediatric neurology. Five adolescents with this syndrome are reported, all of whom complained initially of headaches. In all cases the headaches were either continuous or daily and all patients had tenderness of the muscles of mastication and restricted or deviant jaw-opening. The literature is reviewed, and etiology, diagnosis and treatment are discussed. It is concluded that this is a rare but distinct syndrome which can cause headaches in adolescents, appears to have multiple etiologies and should be treated conservatively.
