Foreign Language Syndrome Following Extraction of Wisdom Teeth Under General Anesthesia: A Case Report.

Foreign language syndrome (FLS) is a rare phenomenon described as transient fixation on a second language following anesthesia administration. There have only been 12 previously reported cases of FLS and none involving female patients or oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). While volatile anesthetics were administered during at least 2 cases, at minimum 5 cases occurred without volatile anesthetics - instead manifesting with IV sedation medications commonly used with OMS outpatient procedures (ie, midazolam, fentanyl, and propofol).

Correlation of Arthroscopic and Histologic Findings in Synovial Membrane Disease of the Temporomandibular Joint.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to correlate specific arthroscopic findings in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy and histologic results from arthroscopic-guided synovial biopsy.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was completed of patients who had undergone arthroscopy and arthroscopic synovial biopsy from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2016 at the senior author's practice in Miami, Florida. The demographic, arthroscopic, histologic, serologic, and historical variables were recorded by electronic medical record review.

Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Advances in technology and specialized instrumentation allow surgeons to study, refine, and modify minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to replace standard operations. This has occurred across many surgical specialties. The benefits of MIS include less swelling, less pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster return to daily activities.
