Abstract

Epilepsy is a relatively common neurological disorder with incidence in both developed and developing countries.  Head, facial, and oral injuries can result from seizures experienced by the epileptic patient.  Patients with severe epilepsy often experience other dental disease due to their inability to properly maintain their oral hygiene.  This paper presents a case of a chronic mandibular fracture following an episode of seizures in a patient with epilepsy in whom the fracture was discovered when he developed a fistula in the submandibular region.
