Temporomandibular joint herniation into the external auditory canal presenting as clicking tinnitus: A case report.

Background: Herniation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) into the external auditory canal (EAC) due to a bony defect in the EAC is rare. Such bony defects can be secondary to inflammation, neoplasm, trauma. In rare instances, TMJ herniation can occur when the Huschke foramen is constantly exposed.

A Giant Maxillary Mucocele Presenting Left Cheek Swelling.

A paranasal sinus mucocele is an epithelial-lined, mucus-containing sac that completely fills the sinus and forms an expandable cystic structure. It most commonly affects the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses, and rarely the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. Orbital displacement or external disfigurement resulting from the expansion of the frontal or ethmoid sinuses is common; however, facial asymmetry caused by maxillary bone remodeling is rare.
