The treatment of some disorders of the maxillo-mandibular apparatus. III. the maxillo-septal facies, ipsilateral deficiency of facial mesenchyme (mesectoderm) and condylar displacement.
The results of treatment of 67 patients with septo-maxillary syndrome and associated temporomandibular joint dysfunction are reported. Five case histories are described in detail. The features of the syndrome emphasized are the maxillo-septal facies, ipsilateral deficiency of facial mesenchyme (mesectoderm) and condylar displacement. Associated with condylar displacement was early osteo-arthritis of the temporomandibular joint complex. It is suggested that Costen's syndrome needs restatement.
