          Abstract

          Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a rare disorder characterized by excessive bone growth that almost always presents unilaterally, resulting in facial asymmetry. Classification of the different types of CH can differ depending on the authors. Correct diagnosis is critical in determining the proper treatments and timing. This paper is a review of the recent literature on the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, classification, and surgical treatments of CH.

          Hemimandibular hyperplasia--hemimandibular elongation.

          H Obwegeser, M S Makek (1986)
          Clinical and radiographic experience as well as histological findings leave no doubt that the term "condylar hyperplasia" refers only to hyperplasia of the condyle alone and should therefore not be used to mean the two hemimandibular anomalies as is the case in the literature today. There are two basically different malformations of one side of the mandible which we call hemimandibular hyperplasia and hemimandibular elongation respectively. We are convinced that there exist pure and mixed forms of both growth anomalies because we have observed several such clinical cases. The stimulus for the abnormal growth either lies within the fibrocartilaginous layer or is produced by it. Different histological patterns within the condylar growth zone were seen in the two anomalies. The pathophysiological bases of the abnormal growth are discussed. They seem to contribute to the understanding of the normal and abnormal mandibular growth and consequently also of many of the mandibular anomalies. The explanations are demonstrated by the illustrations of some cases.

            The clinical characteristics of condylar hyperplasia: experience with 61 patients.

            Dorrit Nitzan, Alex Katsnelson, Ido Bermanis … (2008)
            Much reported variation and discord exist regarding mandibular condylar hyperplasia (CH). This study evaluated some of the characteristics of this disorder in a series of 61 patients with active CH.

              Female predominance and effect of gender on unilateral condylar hyperplasia: a review and meta-analysis.

              Pieter G. Raijmakers, Luc H E Karssemakers, Dirk B Tuinzing (2012)
              The objective of this review and meta-analysis was to determine the existence and extent of the predominance of women among patients with unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH). Furthermore, we examined the laterality of UCH in women and men from international study populations.
