Bilateral temporomandibular joint dislocation secondary to acute dystonia induced by antipsychotic depot injection: a case report
This case highlights an uncommon mechanical complication of antipsychotic-induced dystonia. Timely recognition and management are essential to avoid airway risk, prolonged joint dysfunction, or misattribution to psychiatric pathology. It reinforces the need for multidisciplinary coordination between emergency medicine, psychiatry, and maxillofacial services.
