Description

Most patients with microgenia undergo mandiblar advancement by orthognathic surgery, but complications such as temporomandibular joint disorders, skeletal relapse, and progressive condylar resorption (PCR) commonly occur after surgical mandibular advancement by sagittal splitting ramus osteotomy.<br> Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is related to a long face and clockwise rotation and retrusion of the mandible, whereas microgenia and retrognathism are often associated with condylar disorders.<br> We describe a 30-year-old man with microgenia, bilateral condylar disorders, and severe OSAS. We performed orthognathic surgery including distraction osteogenesis (DOG), and there was no relapse of malocclusion, signs of PCR, or recurrence of OSAS 22 months after DOG.
