Bifid mandibular condyle, a rare condition, may stem from congenital factors despite trauma history. Surgical excision of the underdeveloped condyle head resolved pain in a reported case.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Congenital Disorders
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Bifid mandibular condyle is a rare developmental anomaly.
  • Its etiology and pathogenesis remain poorly understood.
  • Trauma is sometimes implicated, but congenital factors are also considered.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a left bifid mandibular condyle and a history of trauma.
  • The patient experienced pain during mastication but had no limitation in mouth opening.
  • The underdeveloped lateral head of the bifid condyle was surgically excised.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination of the excised condyle segment suggested a congenital origin.
  • Surgical intervention resulted in successful healing without complications.

  • This case highlights the importance of considering congenital etiology in bifid mandibular condyle.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing bifid mandibular condyle.
    • Plastic surgeons specializing in craniomaxillofacial surgery should be aware of this condition.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the exact etiology and pathogenesis.
