Abstract

Agenesis of the temporomandibular condyle is a congenital/developmental disorder that can present with the absence of the condyle and an incomplete development of the articular fossa and eminence, resulting in facial asymmetry as well as masticatory dysfunction. The purpose of this report is to present the case of a three-year-old girl with absence of the left temporomandibular condyle. The patient presented with pain and dysfunction in the left masseter muscle, pre-auricular area and ear as well as mild chin deviation to the left. The most common treatment modality is to wait and treat this condition with surgical intervention once the patient is grown. However, oral orthopedic appliances can be considered to promote bone formation prior to surgery. Prompt recognition and early treatment is advisable to take advantage of the child's growth and avoid further facial asymmetry, pain and dysfunction.

幼儿颞下颌髁状突缺失的临床意义。
颞下颌髁状突缺失是一种先天性/发育性疾病,可表现为髁状突缺失、关节窝和突起发育不全,导致面部不对称以及咀嚼功能障碍。本报告旨在介绍一名左侧颞下颌髁突缺失的三岁女孩的病例。患者表现为左侧咀嚼肌、耳前区和耳部疼痛和功能障碍,以及下巴轻度向左偏斜。最常见的治疗方法是等待,等患者长大后再进行手术治疗。不过,也可以考虑在手术前使用口腔矫形器来促进骨形成。建议及时发现并尽早治疗,以利用儿童的成长优势,避免进一步的面部不对称、疼痛和功能障碍。
