A case of hemimandibular hyperplasia in a young patient treated 12 years ago is presented. Clinical and radiographic findings were consistent with a diagnosis of right hemimandibular hyperplasia. An early high condylectomy was performed. In our opinion, the esthetic and functional results after this long-term follow-up are fairly satisfactory. We present a brief review of the literature to make a differentiation between condylar hyperplasia and hemimandibular hyperplasia and to stress the importance of early condylectomy to correct this disease.
本文介绍了一名12年前接受治疗的年轻患者的半侧下颌骨增生病例。临床和影像学检查结果与右侧半侧下颌骨增生的诊断一致。早期进行了高位髁突切除术。我们认为,经过长期随访,其美学和功能效果相当令人满意。我们简要回顾了文献,以区分髁突增生和半侧下颌骨增生,并强调早期髁突切除术对纠正该病的重要性。
