Summary
This study presents two cases of double lip, an uncommon oral anomaly. One case was associated with Ascher's syndrome, while the other resulted from trauma.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Congenital malformations
- Syndromology
Background:
- Double lip is a rare oral anomaly characterized by a duplication of the upper lip.
- It is often associated with Ascher's syndrome, a triad of double upper lip, blepharochalasis, and thyroid enlargement.
Observation:
- Two distinct cases of double lip malformation were analyzed.
- One case presented as part of Ascher's syndrome.
- The second case was attributed to a traumatic etiology.
Findings:
- The review covers the development, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of double lip.
- This highlights the diverse origins of this oral anomaly, ranging from genetic predisposition to external factors.
Implications:
- Understanding the varied causes of double lip is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
- This case review contributes to the literature on rare oral conditions and associated syndromes.
