“…9 Trauma late in pregnancy, abnormality of the stapedial artery, and teratogenic agents are other reported aetiological factors. 10 Mathis 11 postulated that such adhesions were remnants of the buccopharyngeal membrane. Hayward and Avery 12 thought the adhesions developed as a result of contact between the epithelium of the gums or the palatine shelves and the floor of the mouth.…”

“…Though majority present at the birth but few cases have been reported in elderly [1,5]. Dawson et al in 1997 first classified it in two types as simple and complex syngnathia; was modified 4 years later into 4 types [6,7]. Cleft palate is the most common association and it was present in our case too [1].…”

“…Nutrition should be started early using nasogastric tube. Various procedures have been done to release the fusion, but recurrence has been the most common problem despite all efforts [5][6][7][8]. Some authors also suggested the use of interpositional flap using temporalis muscle or buccal mucosa and insertion of an implant such as silastic sheets between separated soft tissues to prevent recurrence [6].…”

“…In 1936, Burket [2] reported the first case of "maxillomandibularsyngnathia" in a patient who also manifested a Temporo Mandibular Joints (TMJ) Pseudoankylosis, a gum fusion and a hemi-facial atrophy. In 2001, Laster et al [3] stated 24 cases described in the literature. Hegab reported the last cases in 2012 [4].…”

The maxillomandibular fusion is a very rare condition, with no more than forty cases described in the literature. Adhesions of bone and/or soft tissue between the mandible and maxilla manifest themselves in the inability to open the mouth added to impacts on mandibular growth, nutrition and speech. This condition can be isolated or, when congenital, associated with other anomalies such as cleft lip and palate, aglossia, or Van der Woude syndrome. In the present paper, we report a case of maxillomandibular fusion treated in our department at University Hospital, between February 2011 and June 2014. The case is a congenital maxillomandibular fusion in a two-year-old infant, associated with a syndrome of Van der Woude. We discuss the diagnostic and treatment difficulties on the anaesthetic and surgical levels and the action to be taken to avoid recurrence. To date, some classifications have been suggested in the literature, but there is no standard treatment protocol. Early treatment is necessary to allow freedom of the upper airway, and ensure proper nutrition and good growth of facial bones. The success of surgery is conditioned by an adequate physiotherapy follow-up likely to guarantee the non-recurrence of the lesion.
