Unilateral condylar hyperplasia – A genetic link? Case reports
نویسنده
چکیده
Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is an uncommon condition with unknown etiology which causes overdevelopment of condyle leading to facial asymmetry, mandibular deviation, malocclusion, and articulation dysfunction. Two Indian families with unilateral condylar hyperplasia are presented where the similar abnormality was also detected in one of their parents. The condylar hyperplasia in these two families indicates that mandibular condylar hyperplasia could be genetic in origin.

Condylar hyperplasia (CH), as the name suggests, affects mandibular condyle producing overgrowth of condyle, which is characterized by a slowly progressive, usually unilateral enlargement of the mandible, facial asymmetry and deviation of chin to the unaffected side. The condition is known to be self-limiting, usually begins around puberty, but may not be recognized until later in life. This pa...

The different aspects of unilateral condylar hyperplasia have been studied and continue to be controversial; nevertheless, treatment based on condylectomy has been established as part of the working protocol. The aim of this investigation was to identify the bone repair observed in surgically treated condyles after 1 year using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Nine subjects were included i...
متن کاملCondylar Hyperplasia- an Insidious Developmental Disorder of Mandible
Condylar hyperplasia is a developmental disorder of mandible characterised by accelerated growth of condylar head of mandible either unilateral or bilateral. Rate of abnormal growth of the condyle determines the severity of facial asymmetry causing distress and rarely pain. It has a multifactorial etiology with increased prevalence in females. Two basic growth vectors occur with CH: horizontal ...
متن کاملOne-stage treatment of acquired facial deformity caused by severe unilateral condylar hyperplasia.
Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a rare and self-limiting process manifesting between the first and third decades of life. It causes facial asymmetry and derangement of occlusion. The management involves resection of the condylar head and orthognathic surgery followed by orthodontic treatment. We present a 33-year-old man with spontaneous onset of CH during a span of 10 years. This was managed with...
