Bilateral bifid mandibular condyles are rare and may appear as a congenital or developmental anomaly. A case of bilateral bifid mandibular condyles is reported. The patient had no history of trauma and no link was apparent with respect to the patient's medical history. In this case, the condition was an incidental panoramic radiographic finding. Magnetic resonance imaging findings revealed bilateral anterior disc displacement without reduction. The radiographic appearance of this anomaly and the literature on bilateral bifid condyles are reviewed.
双侧下颌髁突裂罕见,可能表现为先天性或发育性异常。本文报告一例双侧下颌髁突裂病例。患者无外伤史,且与患者病史无明显关联。在此病例中,该情况是全景X线片偶然发现的。磁共振成像结果显示双侧关节盘前移位且不可复。本文回顾了该异常的影像学表现及双侧髁突裂的相关文献。
