Auriculotemporal Neuralgia Secondary to TMJ Synovial Cyst: A Rare Presentation of a Rare Entity. Issue 10 (10th September 2013) - Ansari, Hossein
Abstract Synovial cysts of the temporomandibular joint are rare, and to our knowledge, only 14 cases have been reported. The most common presentation is local pain and swelling. We present a case of a synovial cyst presenting with neuralgia in the distribution of the auriculotemporal nerve, initially misdiagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia.
