title: [Long-term results following mandibular resection in newborns with autogeneous rib graft for reconstruction of mandibular defects].
abstract: The authors report on the clinical course of two children, in whom benign tumors with destruction of the mandible were diagnosed at the age of 4 and 6 months respectively. Following mandibular continuity resection the lateral mandible was reconstructed with autogenous rib grafts. In both children craniofacial and mandibular growth was assessed during  yearly clinical and radiological follow-up visits. A slight vertical overgrowth and transversal growth inhibition could be detected.
