Mandibular condylar hyperplasia: a case study from 17th century Colonial Cusco, Peru

Résumé

Mandibular condylar hyperplasia is an uncommon disease, first described as an overgrowth of the mandibular condyle causing facial asymmetry and occlusal disorders and may be associated with pain and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. This condition is self-limiting; however, as long as it stays active, the asymmetry and occlusal changes will keep progressing. The etiology of condylar hyperplasia remains unclear, although factors such as trauma, arthritis and hormonal problems have been associated. We report the case study of a male individual, 30 to 34 years old, which shows a greater development of right mandibular condyle. The individual was registered during archaeological excavations in the Temple of Santa Ana of Yauri (Espinar - Cusco), Temple that was built over an Inca Huaca in the second half of the seventeenth century. The burial characteristics are those of the Christian tradition. Facial asymmetry secondary to condylar hyperplasia is not only an aesthetic problem as it can have functional impairments such as pain and limitation of mouth opening, the growth of the condylar head causes downward and forward displacement of the mandibular body, causing vertical maxillary discrepancy of the occlusal plane, crossbite and also interference in the temporomandibular joint movements, besides the pain caused by the compression and displacement of peripheral structures.
