Abstract
Mandible dislocation during endotracheal intubation is an unusual occurrence but easy to be overlooked for its unfamiliarity. We recently had a case of iatrogenic bilateral dislocation of a temporomandibular joint during orotracheal intubation and emphasize the importance of an early awareness of this possible complication.
