Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common gastrointestinal disorder. Despite its frequent occurrence, only a minority of patients seek medical attention, making it difficult to ascertain the true epidemiologic distribution of the disorder. A causal association between GERD and esophageal complications such as esophagitis, esophageal ulcer, and esophageal stricture is well accepted. Recent epidemiologic evidence suggests that GERD may likewise represent a risk factor for the development of supraesophageal conditions, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, laryngitis, and even laryngeal cancer. Although epidemiologic associations do not establish a cause-and-effect relationship, they may indicate potential etiologic risk factors. Nevertheless, confirmation of the causal role of GERD in supraesophageal disorders awaits further investigation.
A ganglion cyst of the temporomandibular joint is a rare entity that commonly presents as a minimally tender, preauricular mass. This benign cystic lesion, which is lined by synovium and can be found in association with other joints, occasionally erodes adjacent bone to form an intraosseous ganglion. We discuss an unusual case of an intraosseous temporomandibular ganglion cyst that presented with bloody otorrhea. Examination revealed an external auditory canal mass with radiographic evidence of temporal bone erosion. The cyst was excised using a combined approach to the glenoid fossa and mastoid. The management principals of this case and a pertinent review of the literature are included.
