Masticator space infection can easily be misdiagnosed as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. However, the association between masticator space infection and TMJ dislocation has not been studied. The present study describes a case of masticator space infection that initially presented as TMJ dislocation. A 63-year-old woman complained of dislocation and pain on the right TMJ for 3 weeks.
