Abstract:
Accessory jaws (distomus), with or without teeth, rarely occur. This condition has been observed most commonly in association with lateral facial clefts. A case of a 6-year-old child with a unilateral facial dimple which is interpreted as a putative vestige of a lateral facial cleft and accessory maxilla is reported. Possible aetiology is addressed and previous cases are reviewed.
