Abstract
Airway obstruction resulting in sleep-disordered breathing may result from resorption of the mandibular condyles. Resorptive or destructive processes may result from osteoarthritis, autoimmune rheumatologic disease, trauma, or may be idiopathic. Management of sleep apnea in these cases will usually involve surgical correction of the acquired skeletal defect. Surgical correction may involve orthognathic surgery, distraction osteogenesis, condylectomy with costochondral grafting, or alloplastic joint reconstruction. In addition, some of these techniques may be used in combination. Details of etiology, examination findings, diagnostic modalities, and treatment are discussed herein.
