    Sammanfattning : The word trismus is modern latin, derived from the greek word ”trismos” meaning ”grinding” or ”rasping”. Trismus is defined as a limitation in the mouth/jaw-opening ability due to a reduced mandible mobility. A Maximal Interincisal Opening, (MIO) ≤ 35mm is often used as the cut-off point for trismus.

  3. 2. Treating radiation-induced trismus in head and neck cancer;Exercise intervention and risk structures

    Författare :Nina Pauli; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Trismus; Head and neck cancer; Radiotherapy; Jaw exercise therapy;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the incidence of trismus in head and neck cancer (HNC) and to assess the treatment of radiation-induced trismus with a structured jaw exercise program using jaw mobilising devices. Furthermore the aim was to investigate anatomic risk structures related to the development of radiation-induced trismus. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Orbital floor fractures - aspects of diagnostic methods, treatment and sequelae

    Författare :Lena Folkestad; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orbital floor fracture: sequelae; patients experience; diplopia; entrapment; vertical eye motility; vertical electro-oculography vEOG ;

    Sammanfattning : Despite surgical intervention, orbital floor fractures are associated with risks of persisting sensibility disturbances, enophthalmos and diplopia. Cheek asymmetry and trismus may result when the zygoma is dislocated. In evaluating the surgical results patients’ experiences of the outcomes have to be investigated. LÄS MER
