Facial asymmetry can be caused by various pathological conditions, condylar hyperplasia (CH) is one of such condition, characterized by unilateral or bilateral mandibular condylar overgrowth, causing facial asymmetry, mandibular deviation, malocclusion and functional impairment. Advanced imaging and scintigraphic methods, helps the clinicians in diagnosing and monitoring its macroscopic aspects. Here we report three interesting and illustrative cases of facial asymmetry with unilateral CH discussing the unusual changes in the facial bones.
面部不对称可由多种病理状况引起,髁突增生(CH)就是其中之一,其特征为单侧或双侧下颌髁突过度生长,导致面部不对称、下颌偏斜、错牙合畸形及功能障碍。先进的影像学和闪烁扫描方法有助于临床医生诊断和监测其宏观表现。在此,我们报告3例有趣且具有代表性的单侧CH所致面部不对称病例,并讨论面部骨骼的异常变化。
