Abstract

Background:  We report a case of unilateral condylar hypoplasia in an 9-year old female patient who presented with progressive facial asymmetry with a normal range of mandibular movements. Clinical examination, conventional radiographs and 3dimensional computed tomography images revealed hypoplasia of the condyle on the right side. Early diagnosis by correlating clinical and imaging features is paramount in the management of these patients.

Keywords: Unilateral Condylar Hypoplasia, facial asymmetry, condylar hypoplasia.
