  • Title: A new surgical approach to treatment of bilateral syngnathia in a patient with popliteal pterygium-syndrome.
    Author: Speth US, König D, Burg S, Köhnke R.
    Journal: J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2022 Nov; 123(6):e991-e994. PubMed ID: 35728776.
    Abstract:
    This case describes the treatment of syngnathia with a popliteal-pterygium syndrome. Although short-term successful surgical treatment has been described in literature, long-term follow up is essential, as the mouth opening limitations can be repetitively reoccurring. This requires new, individual treatment strategies as demonstrated in this case. A young patient is shown, who is successfully undergoing an alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement to improve mouth opening, increasing the posterior airway space and facilitating the food intake.
