“…In the literature review, the age of incidence is between 15 to 87, mostly (88%) in the age of 50 with non-specific signs and symptoms. Two prominent symptoms are otalgia and clicking tinnitus (36%), followed by otorrhea (32%), hearing loss (20%) and aural fullness (10%), while 8% of asymptomatic was reported [5]. In some other patients' temporomandibular joint pain and salivary gland discharge from the EAC also reported.…”

“…The discharge from the ear is specifically watery, odourless and colourless; due to the formation of a fistula leading to the leakage of synovial fluids. The other symptoms include hearing impairment (20%) and aural fullness (10%); while 8% were asymptomatic (Li & Dai, 2015).…”

Spontaneous herniation of the temporomandibular joint along a bony defect in the external auditory canal is an uncommon condition that may lead to otologic symptoms. A 43-year-old gentleman presented with otalgia and an external auditory canal soft tissue lesion, which flattens upon opening of the jaw. Computed tomography scan of the temporal region confirmed the presence of a soft tissue lesion that herniated through an external auditory canal wall defect. This condition should be included in the differential diagnoses of an external auditory canal mass, despite infrequently encountered. It is important to inspect the external auditory canal during movement of the jaw when a soft tissue lesion is noted, so as not to miss this diagnosis.

“…The diagnosis can be based on otoscopic or radiological findings [8], [9]. Evaluation of the EAC during mouth movement can be helpful for diagnosing PFH because PFH-related TMJ herniation is more prominent when the mouth is closed and retracts when the mouth opens.…”

Temporomandibular joint herniation (TMJ) can be caused by inflammation, trauma, tumor, or otologic procedures. However, spontaneous TMJ herniation can also occur as a result of a congenital bony defect in the external auditory canal (EAC), known as the patent foramen of Huschke (PFH), and occurs in 0.4% of the population. Herein, the authors present a case of spontaneous TMJ herniation through the PFH with clicking tinnitus. The patient underwent the surgical repair of bony defect in the EAC with placement of titanium mesh, and the symptom disappeared after surgery. They also review the relevant literature regarding this disease and discuss its embryologic development and clinical significance.
