Abstrakt: Dislocation of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) secondary to a seizure is rare. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman, who presented with a left TMJ dislocation during a status epilepticus. The airway was protected until reduction. A bimanual relocation by Nelaton's manoeuvre was attempted successfully.
