The bifid mandibular condyle is a rare anomaly. A variety of causes are implicated with its development such as developmental origin and trauma. Because of the lack of epidemiological data, there is little information about the real incidence of this malformation. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of bifid mandibular condyle in a 20-year-old woman who referred to a private radiological clinic for routine dental examination. A panoramic radiography incidentally revealed a discrete modification of the left mandibular condyle. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was taken and confirmed the diagnostic proposed.
双侧下颌髁突是一种罕见的异常情况。其发育涉及多种原因，如发育起源和创伤。由于缺乏流行病学数据，关于这种畸形的实际发病率的信息很少。本文的目的是报告一例20岁女性双侧下颌髁突病例，该患者因常规牙科检查前往一家私人放射诊所就诊。全景X线片偶然发现左下颌髁突有明显改变。进行了磁共振成像（MRI）检查并证实了初步诊断。
