Bilateral condylar fracture, bifid condyle, vertical fractureAbstract
Mandibular fractures are one of the most common fracturesof the midface region. Unilateral fractures of the condyle are three times as common as bilateral fractures. Bilateral condylar fracture without any other fracture is rare. Sagittal split or vertical fractures of the head of the condyle are uncommon injuries and are easily missed on routine radiographs. The diagnosis of condylar fractures is based on clinical features and radiological investigations. Radiographic images need to be interpreted carefully and correlated with clinical features to avoid misdiagnosis. Condylar fractures are usually managed conservatively or with closed or open reduction whereas bifid condyles are a developmental anomaly. We describe here a case of bilateral condylar fracture with a unique radiological presentation as bilateral bifid condyles.
