ABSTRACT
Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a rare, self-limiting process manifesting between the first and third decades of life. CH causes facial asymmetry and derangement of the occlusion. Management involves resection of the condylar head and orthognathic surgery. This paper describes the case of a 37-year-old woman with spontaneous onset of CH over a span of approximately 25 years. The condition was managed with resection of the condyle alone, which dramatically improved facial asymmetry and altered the occlusion within a few months of follow up. Orthodontic treatment was then carried out and the patient underwent orthognathic surgery after 3 years. The patient is currently satisfied with her appearance and function and there are no signs of recurrence.
RESUMO
Hiperplasia condilar (HC) é um processo raro e auto-limitativo que ocorre entre a 1a e a 3a décadas de vida. Ela causa assimetria facial e alteração da oclusão. O tratamento envolve ressecção da cabeça do côndilo e cirurgia ortognática. Este artigo descreve o caso de uma mulher de 37 anos com início espontâneo de HC e duração de aproximadamente 25 anos. O tratamento foi feito com ressecção apenas do côndilo, o que melhorou consideravelmente a assimetria facial e a oclusão em poucos meses de acompanhamento. Seguiu-se o tratamento ortodôntico e a paciente foi submetida a cirurgia ortognática três anos depois. Atualmente a paciente está satisfeita com sua aparência e função, sem apresentar sinais de recorrência.
