Condylar hyperplasia (CH), as the name suggests, affects mandibular condyle producing overgrowth of condyle, which is characterized by a slowly progressive, usually unilateral enlargement of the mandible, facial asymmetry and deviation of chin to the unaffected side. The condition is known to be self-limiting, usually begins around puberty, but may not be recognized until later in life. This paper reports a case of severe facial asymmetry secondary to CH, which was successfully treated by high condylectomy only.
髁突增生(CH),顾名思义,会影响下颌髁突,导致髁突过度生长,其特征为下颌骨缓慢进行性增大,通常为单侧,伴有面部不对称以及颏部向未受累侧偏斜。已知该病症具有自限性,通常始于青春期左右,但可能直到成年后期才被发现。本文报告一例继发于髁突增生的严重面部不对称病例,该病例仅通过高位髁突切除术就成功得到了治疗。
