| dc.description | Introducción: El músculo temporal es fundamental en la masticación, participa activamente en los movimientos de cierre mandibular. Está recubierto por una fascia fibroelástica que conforma su tendón. La tendinitis es un proceso degenerativo e inflamatorio, que se origina en la unión tendón-hueso. Con frecuencia, signos y síntomas como inflamación, dolor a la palpación, limitación del movimiento y apertura, son asociados a otros trastornos temporomandibulares no considerando la tendinitis como un factor causal. Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico identificando el proceso diagnóstico y el manejo de una tendinitis del músculo temporal. Descripción del caso: Paciente sexo masculino de 30 años, acude por dolor opresivo continuo en la región cigomática y temporal bilateral con aumento del dolor en apertura y función mandibular. A la palpación presenta dolor en la zona de inserción del tendón del músculo temporal, el cual se elimina al anestesiar confirmando el diagnóstico de tendinitis del músculo temporal. Se realizan medidas primarias de manejo y luego se infiltra corticoides peritendineos. Al control el paciente no presenta dolor espontáneo ni en función. Conclusión: La tendinitis del músculo temporal es una patología frecuente, aunque subdiagnosticada. Debe realizarse el correcto diagnóstico diferencial con patologías frecuentes como dolor odontogénico, sinusitis, artralgia, dolor miofascial y migraña. El manejo dependerá del tipo de tendinitis. Habitualmente se presenta en conjunto con otros TTM o dolores faciales, por lo que es importante conocer las distintas características clínicas de patologías con presentaciones similares. | es-ES |
| dc.description | Introduction: The temporalis muscle plays an essential role in mastication and is actively involved in the mandibular closing movement. It is covered by a fibroelastic fascia that forms its tendon. Tendinitis is a degenerative and inflammatory process, which originates in the tendon-bone junction. Signs and symptoms such as swelling, pain, tenderness on palpation, limitation of movement and mouth opening are frequently associated with other temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and not with tendinitis as a causal factor. Objective: To describe a clinical case identifying the diagnostic process and management of tendinitis of the temporalis muscle. Case report: A 30-yeard old male patient who sought treatment after continuous squeezing pain in the zygomatic and bilateral temporal regions with increased pain during mouth opening and mandibular function. The patient referred pain in the insertion region of the tendon of the temporalis muscle. Pain was removed after using anesthesia, consequently confirming the diagnosis of tendinitis of the temporalis muscle. Primary management measures were performed and then peritendinous corticosteroids were administered. The patient did not refer spontaneous or functional pain during check-up. Conclusion: Tendinitis of the temporalis muscle is a common condition, although frequently underdiagnosed. A good differential diagnosis must be performed to avoid confusion with other common conditions such as odontogenic pain, sinusitis, arthralgia, myofascial pain and migraine. Management depends on the type of tendinitis. It usually occurs in conjunction with other types of TMD or facial pain, so it is important to know the different clinical characteristics of pathologies with similar manifestations. | en-US |
