• What is the clinical presentation of masticatory muscle myositis?

  The classical clinical presentation for masticatory muscle myositis is inabil-ity to open the jaw (trismus), jaw pain, and swelling or atrophy of the musclesof mastication.

• Can masticatory muscle myositis be tracheal intubated?

  In the masticatory mus-cles, the biopsy is generally taken from the oppositetemporalis muscle. The information gained from a mus-cle biopsy must be weighed against the anesthesia risksassociated with masticatory muscle myositis. Trismuscan be severe enough that it prohibits tracheal intuba-tion.

• Can a muscle biopsy be performed in masticatory musclemyositis?

  Muscle biopsy is a simple surgical proce-dure. Biopsies are typically obtained from the temporalismuscle; however, care must be taken to avoid samplingthe frontalis muscle, which overlies the temporalis mus-cle, because it is not affected in masticatory musclemyositis (Figure 5). Biopsy ofthe wrong muscle is acommon mistake.

  Background: Myositis ossificans describes a heterotopic bone formation within a muscle. Thereby myositis ossificans is classified in two different groups: myositis ossificans progressiva (MOP) which describes a genetic autosomal dominant rare disease and myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT). The exact pathogenesis of MOT is unclear.
