Condylar Hyperplasia in a Monozygotic Twin Girl: An Argument About Etiology

Abstract: The diagnosis of unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH) requires a combined assessment consisting of clinical, radiological, and histopathological examination. The etiology of this condition is unknown. The purpose of this study is to report a rare case of UCH in a monozygotic twin. A 15-year-old girl was referred to our department complaining of facial asymmetry and malocclusion. Computed tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography imaging reveal enlargement of the left condyle and condylar neck,… Show more

“…An uncontrolled disease in the mandibular condyle under 16 years old can cause alterations in the growth and development of the mandible [19]. Genetic conditions associated with UCH as well as phenotypes play a role in this scenario [20].…”

“…The origin of facial deformities responds to environmental and genetic factors, so that the time when the deviation of the septum occurs can affect the form of maxillary growth (Goulart et al, 2018); therefore, septal deviation can be produced at different stages of life and is not necessarily related to the skeletal growth model of the subject. In this regard, the average septal deviation in the non-segmented population was 13.5º (±5º) and the average volume deviation was 4.76 ± 0.8 cm3 (Orham et al, 2014).…”

“…Las deformidades faciales son un complejo grupo de alteraciones faciales asociadas a defectos del desarrollo del esqueleto facial. En particular, la maxila y la mandíbula son afectados por un crecimiento que puede ser deficiente por condiciones hereditarias y por condiciones ambientales (Goulart et al, 2018).…”
