[Combined cystectomy of the ramus with sagittal split osteotomy in mandibular asymmetry]

A case of typical mandibular asymmetry, probably caused by the development of a primordial cyst in the right ramus of the mandible, is presented. The one stage operation performed, which enabled the enucleation of the cyst and the simultaneous correction of the asymmetry, is described and the case discussed.
