Abstract
Dear editor, a 21-year-old male patient was admitted to Diyarbakir Military Hospital with complaint of acute temporomandibular disorder (TMD) of unknown cause. The patient was counselled and prescribed classical TMD treatment, including non-steroidal inflammatory drugs and night plaque. Unfortunately, one month later, he was contacted and informed me that he had symptoms of muscle pain and dysphagia by chewing. He had vigorous complaint of involuntary clenching of the masticatory and facial muscles (Figure 1). Neurological consultation and electromyography (EMG) investigation confirmed that he had oromandibular dystonia (OMD).
