A case of bilateral coronoid hyperplasia is presented. This is a developmental abnormality that occurs primarily in males and is characterized by progressive, asymptomatic limitation of mandibular movements. The condition is usually detected shortly after the age of puberty. A diagnosis is usually made on the basis of the history and the radiographic findings. Surgical removal of the elongated coronoid processes, along with good postoperative range-of-motion exercises, will restore full mandibular movement.
本文报告一例双侧冠状突增生病例。这是一种主要发生于男性的发育异常，其特征为下颌运动进行性、无症状性受限。该病通常在青春期后不久被发现。诊断通常基于病史和影像学检查结果。手术切除伸长的冠状突，同时配合良好的术后活动度锻炼，将恢复下颌的完全运动功能。
