Abstract

A clinical case of extremely rare abnormality of temporomandibular joint as bifid mandibular condyle of a 15 years old patient has been described. It was diagnosed for the first time in 23 years of clinical practice of patients with abnormality of this joint. This abnormality was accompanied by synovial chondromatosis of temporomandibular joint, osteoporosis, deformation coxoarthrosis from the left side, pelvis bones skewness (on MRI ? right femoral bone head dysplasia, pelvis ring deformation) shortening of a right lower extremity. It enables the author to consider, that bifid condyle and temporomandibular joint chondromatosis in a 15 years old patient are the manifestations of a systemic disease of connective tissue.
