Congenital Fibrous Maxillomandibular Fusion

摘要

Congenital fibrous fusion of the jaws (synechiae) without any concomitant oral anomalies is a very rare malformation. Less than 40 cases have been documented in the literature. Early division of fibrous bands not only allows effective feeding but also prevents development of facial deformity. Here we present a case of congenital maxillomandibular fusion in a neonate.
