Bilateral mandibular coronoid hyperplasia is a rare cause of restricted mouth opening. Diagnosis of the condition prior to general anaesthetic is essential, as oral intubation may be impossible. The reported case illustrates the role of computed tomography in assessment of the disorder and effective treatment by coronoidectomy.
双侧下颌冠突增生是张口受限的罕见原因。在全身麻醉前诊断该病至关重要,因为可能无法进行口腔插管。该报告病例说明了计算机断层扫描在评估该疾病中的作用以及冠状突切除术的有效治疗方法。
