  • Title: Case Report: unilateral condylar hyperplasia.
    Author: Shetty S, Guddadararangiah S.
    Journal: F1000Res; 2021; 10():46. PubMed ID: 33564393.
    Abstract:
    Case: This report describes a clinical case of unilateral condylar hyperplasia (CH) with unique, atypical morphology. An important feature of this report is the documentation of a series of clinical photographs of the patient, showing a gradual increase in facial asymmetry associated with the CH. The main symptom reported in this case was facial asymmetry. The main intraoral clinical features observed in the patient were contralateral crossbite and ipsilateral open bite associated with CH. Surgical reshaping of the condyle was the treatment plan for this case. Conclusions: The main take away point from this case is the importance of obtaining previous photographs of the patient at different ages during case diagnosis, which helps the clinician to determine the approximate time of commencement of CH. This case also highlights the imaging features of rarely observed atypical shape of the hyperplastic condyle.
