Rationale: This case report presents a rare combination of congenital anomalies in an otherwise healthy male infant born at 36 weeks. The infant was diagnosed with congenital maxillomandibular synechia, ectrodactyly, and ankyloglossia superior syndrome (ASS).
Patient Concerns: Inability to open the mouth completely, feeding challenges, and a cleft palate.
Rationale: SAMS syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by midline facial clefting, skeletal anomalies, and other defects.
Salient Features: Among the craniofacial manifestations of SAMS syndrome is the presence of a median mandibular cleft (MMC). MMC is a rare occurrence and in this syndrome, it poses a complex challenge for both functional and aesthetic reasons.
Introduction: Mandibular condylar resorption (MCR) is a rare pathological entity, often affecting young females.
Patient Concerns: It is accompanied by pain, malocclusion and compromised quality of life including aesthetic perception. Due to this multiplicity of features, the diagnosis, treatment and management of MCR are always a challenge.
