title: Acquired syngnathia.
abstract: We report two cases of acquired syngnathia, in case 1 probably as a result of a fibrotic tubed pedicle and in case 2 from myositis ossificans. The treatment plan for syngnathia must include not only operation but also a rehabilitation programme (particularly muscle training)
