This case describes the treatment of syngnathia with a popliteal-pterygium syndrome. Although short-term successful surgical treatment has been described in literature, long-term follow up is essential, as the mouth opening limitations can be repetitively reoccurring. This requires new, individual treatment strategies as demonstrated in this case.
