Otomandibular dysplasia is a syndrome of deformities that can affect all latero-facial structures, although the main clinical manifestations include maxillary and mandibular hypoplasia and possibly the absence of the temporo-mandibular joint.
A 18-year-old man with otomandibular dysplasia was treated by grafting in a homologous joint and bone branch.
There is no consensus on the best age to treat the syndrome and on treatment for mandibular hypoplasia and to reconstruct the temporo-mandibular joint. An alternative to the suggested treatments consists in reconstructing the joint and the branch affected by hypoplasia by grafting in a homologous joint and bone branch.
