UNASSIGNED: Skull-base @entity4034 is a @entity395 affecting the medulla of the temporal, sphenoid, and occipital bones. In general, it occurs due to external ear canal @entity281 caused by @entity5 . Skull-base @entity4034 usually affects elderly @entity6 @entity1 . The @entity1 , a 58-year-old @entity1 , was referred for evaluation and management of the left jaw. Clinical examination of the @entity1 revealed @entity158 to the left. The maximum @entity2133 was measured to about 27  mm. Panoramic, CT, and CBCT revealed bone resorption patterns in the left condyle. Through control of @entity6 , continued pharmacological treatment, arthrocentesis, and occlusal stabilization appliance therapy were carried out. The extent of @entity2133 was increased to 45  mm, and @entity158 in the left jaw joint was alleviated. This was a case wherein complications caused by failure to control @entity6 induced skull-base @entity4034 . There is a need for continued discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of arthrocentesis with lavage for @entity1 with skull-base @entity4034 and other treatment options.
