A 15 year old male patient with a left sided facial paralysis came to the hospital with the history of Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery exactly at 7th day after surgery
The temporal and zygomatic branches of the facial nerve are highly susceptible for damage during TMJ surgery . [14] The functional integrity of facial nerve should be preserved during TMJ surgery . [15] There are many factors that could contribute to the injury of the temporal and zygomatic branches of the facial nerve . [16] These nerves lie in a confluence of superficial fascia, temporalis fascia, and periosteum, and may be damaged during surgical approach

Summary
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are characterized by the incidence of pain, clicking sound and restricted mouth opening [1].TMJ disorders include disease, derangement, degeneration, hypo mobility, hyper mobility, benign/malignant tumors and trauma. Epidemiological studies have shown that, adolescents and young adults, reported clicking sounds during energetic movement of the mandible. The etiology of clicking is divisive; it is not known whether it’s due to undisruptive situation [3,4] or due to internal derangement of the TMJ . The etiology of clicking is divisive; it is not known whether it’s due to undisruptive situation [3,4] or due to internal derangement of the TMJ . [5,6]
