Abstract
Inflammatory, malignant, and traumatic lesions are known as potential causes of temporomandibular joint herniation into the external auditory canal. Spontaneous herniations are much rare, and to the best of our knowledge this is the 15th case reported in the literature. This anomaly results from a patent foramen of Huschke. Main symptoms consist in otalgia and tinnitus. In half of the cases, they are minor and no treatment is necessary.
