 A 68-year-old-woman visited our hospital with the chief complaint of limited mouth opening. Clinical examinations showed severe trismus,cervical pain and dysphagia. She was diagnosed as tetanus without any apparent history of trauma after showing convulsion. The patient was performed emergency endotracheal intubation and received anti-tetanus serum and penicillin-G,and sedative against convulsion. Then tracheotomy was performed because of a long term intubation. She was recovered,and discharged from hospital. We should consider the possibility of tetanus whenever patients suffer trismus in the absence of history of trauma.
