          Abstract

          The bifid mandibular condyle is an exceedingly rare anomaly, frequently diagnosed as an incidental finding in a panoramic radiograph. Its etiology and pathogenesis are unknown, though the most acceptable theory suggests that trauma is at the origin of the condition. This article reports a new case of bilateral bifid condyle in a 21-year-old female with history of trauma in childhood.

          El proceso condilar bífido es una anomalía muy rara. Se diagnostica como un hallazgo accidental en una radiografía panorámica. Su etiología y patogenia son desconocidas, aunque la teoría más aceptada sugiere que el trauma está en el origen de esta condición. Este artículo presenta un nuevo caso de proceso condilar bífido bilateral en una mujer de 21 años de edad con antecedentes de trauma en la infancia.

            The problem of the bifid mandibular condyle.

            Andrew Kocsis, A Szentpétery, A Marcsik (1990)
            In a survey of 1,882 prehistoric and historic skulls with 2,077 condyles, 7 double (bifid) mandibular condyles were found. One mandible with bilaterally bifid condyles is presented in detail. Possible causes and consequences of the anomaly are discussed. It is assumed that bifid mandibular condyles with anteroposteriorly situated heads are caused by early childhood fractures, whereas those with mediolaterally situated heads are caused by the persistence of connective tissue septa.

              Trifid mandibular condyle: A case report.

              Leyla Artvinli, Ozden Kansu (2003)
              A few cases of bifid, but no case of trifid mandibular condyle, have been reported in the literature. This article presents the first reported case of trifid mandibular condyle in a living subject with a history of previous trauma to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Additionally, the patient's other condyle was bifid. The patient had no complaint related to the functions of TMJ except for minimal weakness following chewing. The etiology and the prognosis of bifid and trifid condyle are discussed briefly. We considered computed tomography essential to rule out early stages of TMJ pathology in similar cases that resemble trifid mandibular condyle on conventional radiographs.
