Unilateral Condylar Hyperplasia in a Male: A Case Report

Abstract

Mandibular condylar hyperplasia (MHC) is defined as an overgrowth of the mandibular condyle resulting in facial asymmetry and occlusal alterations. It is manifested by pain and temporomandibular dysfunction. When it remains active, the asymmetry and occlusal alterations remain progressive. The etiology of condylar hyperplasia remains uncertain. Elevated condylectomy, joint disc replacement, and orthognathic surgery are surgical methods used to correct and process condylar hyperplasia. We report the case of a 19-year-old man who complained of pain in the right preauricular region. The pain has lasted for about one year, and there was no history of trauma; A diagnosis of mandibular condylar hyperplasia was conducted and treated by superior condylectomy. This case is presented for its rarity.
