Popis:	A case is reported of a patient who fainted and dislocated the left mandibular condyle into the middle cranial fossa. The diagnosis was made by neurological surgeons, and the patient was treated at our department. A resin pivot was placed between the left upper and lower molars and continuous elastic intermaxillary traction was applied. The condylar head remained in the middle cranial fossa after reduction, but no neurological complications occurred. After 6 years' follow up, radiographs demonstrated satisfactory occlusion and jaw movement, except for slight deviation to the left on maximum opening.
