    Author: Patil SG, Patil BS, Joshi U, Rudagi BM, Aftab A.
    Journal: J Maxillofac Oral Surg; 2017 Jun; 16(2):212-218. PubMed ID: 28439163.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The dislocation of mandibular condyle is a clinical condition in which the head of condyle has been displaced out of the glenoid fossa. Complete dislocation of the mandibular condyle can occur in anterior, posterior, lateral and superior direction. Among these dislocations, bilateral superolateral dislocation of mandibular condyles is quite rare and often misdiagnosed. Because of its rare occurrence and unusual clinical course, the best treatment is debatable. PATIENTS AND METHOD: We present the first case series of true bilateral superolateral dislocation of intact mandibular condyles (Type 2B) without fracturing the Zygomatic arch, associated with symphysis fracture. CONCLUSION: This article intends to provide information regarding the possible biomechanics and management of bilateral superolateral dislocation of mandibular condyles associated with symphysis fracture.
