Condylar aplasia which means "failure of development" is a rare condition and can be unilateral or bilateral. Mandibular condylar Aplasia without any association with syndrome is extremely rare. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis results from trauma, infection and inadequate surgical treatment of the condylar area. Congenital cases are very rare. We report case of congenital unilateral aplasia of left mandibular condyle with ankylosis of right condyle, with an associated orthopedic deformity in a nine-year-old male patient, which may be a part of some unreported syndrome that has not been mentioned so far in literature. As per our best knowledge, no other case including such clinical features has been reported.
髁突发育不全意味着“发育失败”，是一种罕见的病症，可为单侧或双侧。不伴有任何综合征的下颌髁突发育不全极为罕见。颞下颌关节（TMJ）强直由创伤、感染以及髁突区域手术治疗不当引起。先天性病例非常罕见。我们报告了一例9岁男性患者，其左侧下颌髁突先天性单侧发育不全并伴有右侧髁突强直，还伴有相关的骨科畸形，这可能是某种尚未在文献中提及的未报告综合征的一部分。据我们所知，尚无其他包含此类临床特征的病例报道。
