Trismus as manifestation of bilateral internal capsule genu infarction

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery
Marcel J H AriësJacques De Keyser

Abstract

Acute trismus can have different causes. We describe the presentation, course and radiological findings of a 34-year-old man who developed acute trismus and MRI findings consistent with the combination of an old and fresh infarction in the genu of the internal capsule. We believe it is important to consider stroke as a cause of acute trismus.
