Sumario: | The development of craniofacial structures is complex and involves multiple cellular and molecular interactions. We report a case of congenital camptodactyly in a female who subsequently developed chronic tinnitus and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. This report describes the clinicoradiographic features and surgical management of the facial skeletal manifestations, along with postoperative rehabilitation. Furthermore, a concise review of similar literature raises the question of whether this complex of manifestations represents a new entity or a minimal manifestation of a previously characterized syndrome. As such, a possible developmental association between camptodactyly and temporomandibular joint dysfunction is suggested. |
