Radiographic manifestations of the temporomandibular joint in a case of Proteus syndrome.
[proteus syndrome]
Proteus
syndrome
is
a
rare
disorder
with
progressive
asymmetrical
and
disproportionate
overgrowth
of
various
tissues
of
the
body
.
The
syndrome
is
characterized
by
a
wide
range
of
malformations
,
including
craniofacial
deformities
.
Extraoral
examination
revealed
several
of
the
classical
craniofacial
features
of
Proteus
syndrome
:
pronounced
hemifacial
hypertrophy
,
macrodactyly
and
hyperostosis
.
Intraoral
examination
revealed
a
high
arched
palate
and
gingival
hyperplasia
.
Other
findings
were
unilateral
enlargement
of
the
tongue
,
alveolar
growth
and
dilaceration
of
the
roots
of
the
teeth
.
There
were
severe
degenerative
changes
and
deformities
in
the
left
temporomandibular
joint
but
the
oversized
condyle
was
asymptomatic
;
there
was
no
pain
,
limitation
and
deviation
at
mouth
opening
.
Treatment
was
not
necessary
owing
to
the
asymptomatic
situation
but
periodic
follow-up
with
clinical
and
radiographic
examination
was
considered
.
The
aim
of
this
article
is
to
describe
the
radiographic
manifestations
of
an
asymptomatic
condyle
malformation
and
other
craniofacial
,
oral
and
dental
findings
in
a
33
-
year
-old
female
patient
with
known
Proteus
syndrome
.
