Bifid condyle is a rare developmental anomaly that results from an obstructed blood supply during its development. Bifid condyle is more often unilateral, although bilateral. A case of a bifid condyle is evaluated three-dimensionally in three orthogonal planes namely coronal, sagittal and axial sections. The etiology, clinical features, diagnostic, non-surgical and surgical treatment modalities of bifid condyle are discussed.

Background: Congenital rib deformity is a common thoracic deformity that has a potentially far-reaching impact on the growth and lung function development of young children. Early diagnosis and accurate assessment of congenital rib deformity is of great importance. This study was to retrospectively analyze the number, location, and types of deformities, imaging features as well as clinical symptoms of children with congenital rib deformities.

Bifid mandibular canals are common anatomical findings with variations based on direction and location of branching, which carry significant clinical implications for endodontic and surgical dental procedures. This case report describes a previously unreported ectopic dental canal that branches off the superior border of the mandibular canal, enters the apex of a mandibular second molar, traverses through the root, anastomoses with the root canal system, and subsequently exits through the lingual aspect of the root. The anastomosis of this ectopic dental canal with the mesial lingual canal led to significant bleeding during rotary instrumentation.
