Abstract

 We report a case of unilateral condylar hypoplasia in an 18-year-old male patient who presented with progressive facial asymmetry, clicking and tenderness of the temporomandibular joint. Clinical examination, conventional radiographs, and 3dimensional computed tomography images revealed hypoplasia of the condyle on the left side. Early diagnosis by correlating clinical and imaging features is paramount in the management of these patients.
