抄録

Suppurative arthritis involving the temporomandibular joint is comparatively rare in recent years because the incidence of infectious joint lesions has decreased remarkably with the advent of antibiotic therapy.
A case of acute suppurative arthritis of the temporomandibular joint in a 64-year-old man was reported. Further, the author reviewed the literature on suppurative arthritis of the temporomandibular joint and discussed the etiology, the clinical signs and symptoms, roentgen examination, treatment etc. of 15 cases of this disease, including this one.
