We report a very rare case of congenital bilateral zygomatico-mandibular fusion with mandibular hypoplasia. Soon after birth, the patient underwent tracheotomy because of upper airway obstruction. At the age of one and a half years, reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint and lengthening of the ramus with a costochondral graft were performed. Only a few cases of congenital bony syngnathia revealed in this case have been described in the literature.
我们报告一例极为罕见的先天性双侧颧骨-下颌骨融合伴下颌发育不全病例。患儿出生后不久,因上呼吸道梗阻接受了气管切开术。一岁半时,进行了颞下颌关节重建及肋软骨移植下颌支延长术。文献中仅描述了少数几例如此病例所呈现的先天性骨性颌骨融合。
