Jaw obstructed - A 21-year-old individual ends up in the emergency department due to yawning.
Incredibly: Four doctors and four hours were required to reposition the mouth of a woman from Manahawkin (New Jersey, USA). After the ordeal, she left the emergency room wearing an unusual bandage around her head to safeguard her jaw.
So, what transpired?
Jenna Sinatra, a 21-year-old, was on her way home when her jaw suddenly became immobile. "I yawned and then my jaw locked," she explained. Her brother thought she was joking. However, it was a serious issue.
In the hospital, the shocking revelation: her jaw dislocated when she yawned! This was clarified by X-rays, among other diagnostic tools.
To alleviate the strain in her facial muscles, doctors provided the panicking woman with certain drugs known as muscle relaxants. They were supposed to alleviate tension.
However, four doctors were needed to place her jaw in its proper position. This was necessary due to the disconnection of the joints connecting the jaw and skull.
