Abstract :
Dislocation of the mandibular condyle has been described as a clinical condition when the condyle head is displaced out of the glenoid fossa but still remains within the capsule of the joint. This dislocation of mandibular condyle can occur in anterior, posterior, lateral and superior direction. Here, we report a case of superolateral dislocation of bilateral condyles associated with symphysisfracture. The purpose of this report is to present this dislocation and its clinical management.
