“…Those arising from the oral cavity or pharynx are called epignathus and can aggressively and rapidly grow during pregnancy. 53 Teratomas are usually isolated and not malignant. However, large vascular teratomas may result in fetal hydrops and fetal demise.…”

Ultrasonography is the screening method of choice for the evaluation of the fetus. It is safe, inexpensive, and easily performed. However, it is operator dependent, and evaluation may be limited because of fetal position, maternal obesity, overlying bone, and/or oligohydramnios. Magnetic resonance imaging is an alternative modality that uses no ionizing radiation, has excellent tissue contrast and a large field of view, is not limited by obesity or overlying bone, and can image the fetus in multiple planes, no matter the fetal lie. Faster scanning techniques allow studies to be performed without sedation in the second and third trimester with minimal motion artifact.

“…Both cystic and solid elements with areas of calcification may be present within. 5 Classical presentations with elevated level of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein, a facial mass, and polyhydramnios have been described previously. 6 A careful evaluation of the brain is essential, because intracranial extension can occur, 1 as was noted in our case.…”

Primary cheek teratomas are rare with < 5 reported cases. None had associated temporo mandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA). The fundamental aim in the treatment of TMJA is the successful surgical resection of ankylotic bone, prevention of recurrence, and aesthetic improvement by ensuring functional occlusion. Early treatment is necessary to promote proper growth and function of mandible and to facilitate the positive psychological development of child. Inter-positional arthroplasty with ultra-thin silicone sheet was performed. Advantages include short operative time, less foreign material in the joint space leading to negligible foreign body reactions and least chances of implant extrusion. Instead of excising a large bony segment, a thin silicone sheet was interposed and then sutured ensuring preservation of mandibular height. Aggressive post-operative physiotherapy with custom made dynamic jaw exerciser was used to prevent recurrence.
