Abstract
A Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) effusion is an accumulation of fluid components in the articular space. It represents an inflammatory process which can be associated with trauma, arthritis or internal derangement of TMJ such as disc displacement. In this study, we present the case of a 48-year-old patient presented with TMJ effusion, diagnosed as resulting from disc displacement without reduction and osteoarthrosis. The case report details the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies employed.
