説明

A case of severe facial asymmetry with double headed mandibular condyle in a 15-year-old girl was reported at the first medical examination.<br>Clinical observation for about 30 months after the initial consultation did not disclose any alteration in the TMJ.<br>Because the patient demonstrated TMJ dysfunction, supplemental mandibualr condyle was excised with the aid of CT scan and other methods.<br>Prior to the surgery, severe malocclusion and facial asymmetry was improved so as to allow satisfactory jaw movement following the TMJ surgery.<br>In the TMJ surgery, the disc was shaped closely in the normal posture.<br>The patient's progress following the operation was favorable and steady.<br>In the treatment of double headed mandibular condyle it proved useful to examine not only TMJ function but also to use CT scan and bone scintigraphy.<br>In the surgery for double headed mandibular condyle, it was important for satisfactory postoperative training of mandibular movement both to preserve the original condyle with disc and to establish a harmonious occlusion.
