Re: Agarwal et al. Stylomandibular fusion that complicates recurrent bilateral ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint

Agarwal et al1 recently described stylomandibular fusion associated with fusion of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). We describe a patient who presented with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and extrinsic ankylosis of the joint associated with various bony fusions between the base of the skull and lower jaw, and suggest an evolutionary meaning for these anomalies.
