Unusual presentations of injuries associated with the mandibular condyle in children

Condylar fractures are sustained commonly by children and are readily diagnosed in the main.

Description
Summary:Condylar fractures are sustained commonly by children and are readily diagnosed in the main. Three case histories serve to illustrate the intricate anatomy of the area and how damage to it can produce unusual signs and symptoms which can mislead the unwary. Supplemental images, in particular coronal CTs, can be instrumental in arriving at the correct diagnosis and treatment.
