Isolated Trevor's disease of the temporomandibular joint: A case report

Trevor’s disease, or dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH), is a rare developmental disorder characterized by asymmetric epiphyseal cartilage overgrowth. We report a 17-year-old male with progressive facial asymmetry and malocclusion caused by DEH of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Imaging showed intra-articular and juxta-articular heterotopic ossification foci within the TMJ, and arthroplasty with histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. We review the literature on craniofacial DEH and discuss diagnostic approaches.

Abstract

Trevor’s disease, or dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH), is a rare developmental disorder characterized by asymmetric epiphyseal cartilage overgrowth. We report a 17-year-old male with progressive facial asymmetry and malocclusion caused by DEH of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Imaging showed intra-articular and juxta-articular heterotopic ossification foci within the TMJ, and arthroplasty with histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. We review the literature on craniofacial DEH and discuss diagnostic approaches.
