Acquired unilateral condylar hyperplasia and facial asymmetry: report of case.
A clinical report is presented of a 12-year-old female with right mandibular hyperplasia, facial asymmetry, bitemporal headaches and left temporomandibular joint pain. Past medical history was noncontributory with the exception of a bicycle accident at age eight, which resulted in minor facial trauma. The management and treatment of this case illustrates the importance of long-term follow-up by the pedodontist and the necessity of a team approach involving pedodontics, orthodontics and oral surgery.
