A rare congenital anomaly: Partial maxillo-mandibular fusion

Congenital maxillo-mandibular fusion is a rare anomaly involving simple mucosal fusion or complete bony fusion that may lead to nutritional or respiratory problems in early and after birth due to restricted mouth opening. Early intervention is crucial to prevent ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint and to achieve complete jaw development. Herein, we present a rare case of maxilla-mandibular fusion in the context of associated therapeutic challenges.
