Abstract

Congenital bony fusion of the mandible and maxilla (syngnathia) without any other oral anomalies is a very rare condition. Numerous cases with other anomalies like cleft lip, cleft palate, aglossia have been described. Syngnathia can also occur with Vander Woude syndrome and popliteal pterygium syndrome. This report presents a very rare case of syngnathia with true bony fusion between mandible and maxilla, unusually with no other intra-oral or systemic anomalies, of which only a few cases exist in the world literature.
