Congenital alveolar synechiae with cleft palate.
2014
Congential maxillomandibular fusion or jaw adhesions is
a rare entity. It is often associated with other congenital
anomalies like cleft palate and is characterized by
restricted mouth opening. This unusual presentation of
congenital alveolar synechiae is highlighted in a 15 days
old baby boy. Under inhalational anaesthesia his fibrocartilagenous
adhesions were excised and endotracheal
tube was then placed. Good recovery without any residual
scars or adhesions and a 25 mm mouth opening was
achieved.
