Lipomas, the most common soft-tissue mesenchymal neoplasms in adults, are characterized by the proliferation of mature white adipocytes without cytologic atypia. Lipomas are rarely observed in the head and neck region. We present a case of resection and orthognathic surgical removal of an intramuscular lipoma of the mandible with involvement of the mandibular ramus and condylar head and neck. An 18-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital for orthognathic surgery for the management of facial asymmetry and mandibular prognathism. The patient did not present with facial swelling, pain, or temporomandibular dysfunction; however, on radiographic examination, including cone-beam computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, an infiltrative fatty lesion was observed in the masticator space inside the right mandible, and the adjacent mandible exhibited bone thinning and deformity. Resection of the lipoma was performed along with orthognathic surgery, including a Le Fort I osteotomy for the maxilla and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO). In this case, because the ramus was split using BSSRO, accessing the lipoma intraorally was easy. Consequently, aesthetic scarring was avoided, and no complications, such as unfavorable splitting or pathologic fracture, occurred. Although recurrence has not been observed about 1 year, long-term follow-up should be performed.

Horner's syndrome as a complication of orthognathic surgery is given little attention of head and neck surgery and is a relatively benign and transient condition. A 18-year-old male referred to our department with long and anteriorly projected chin. The cephalometric evaluation revealed a skeletal Class III relationship. A 10-mm setback of the mandible to eliminate Class III relationship and 4-mm vertical reduction genioplasty were performed. Three weeks after operation, the patient was recognized anhidrosis in left face and the head, and ptosis of left eye. The trauma to cervical sympathetic nerve during left sagittal split ramus osteotomy was thought to be the cause of Horner's syndrome. Patient was treated by dermatologic and opthalmologic care. Follow-up examination 8 months later, he was recovery of horner's symptom.

Sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is widely used in treatment of dentofacial deformities. But, many complications can occur including unfavorable fractures during osteotomy. To prevent these complications, it is necessary to understand comprehensively the anatomy of the mandiular ramus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphology of the madibular ramus in manibular prognathism patients by computed tomography comparing with normal control group. The study group consisted of 33 skeletal class III patients (20 males, 13 females) and the control group consisted of the 52 patients without dentofacial deformities (32 males, 20 females). The mean age of study group was 22.0-year old, and that of control group was 37.1-year. For the CT examination, following scan parameters was used: 1mm slice thickness, 0.5 second scan time, 120kV and 100mA/s. The axial scans of the head were made parallel to the mandibular occlusal plane. The anteroposterior length of the ramus, the distance from anterior border of the ramus to lingula, the relative distance from the anterior border of the ramus to lingula compared to the anteroposterior length of the ramus, the thickness of anterior and posterior cortical plate, the thickness of medial cortical plate of the ramus at lingula level, the thickness of cancellous bone of the ramus at lingula level were measured. The skeletal class III mandibular prognathism patients exhibited shorter anteroposterior length of the ramus, thicker anterior and posterior cortical plate, thinner mediolateral cancellous bone thickness. The lingula has a relative stable anteroposterior position in ramus in all groups. There was higher possibility of fusion of medial and lateral cortical plate at lingula level in the mandibular prognathism group. In conclusion, the mandibular prognathism patients have narrow rami with scanty cancellous bone, which means that careful preoperative examination including CT scan can prevent undesirable fractures during osteotomy.

As a society develops and a standard of living raises, the orthoganthic operation, the purpose of which is the harmony of oral and surrounding tissue, the improvement of the basal bony relations for stable tooth-support, and the improvement of facial appearance, generalized in our society. This is a clinical study on 135 patients who underwent orthognathic operation at the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, College of Dentistry, Kyung-Hee University during the last 5 years. The results were as follows. 1. The ratio of female to male was 1.4 : 1. 2. The age distribution of most patients was the period of 20 years through 24 years. 3. The major reasons for seeking orthagnathic surgery were ethetic complanints(94.8%), and additional reason was functional complaints such as masticatory disturbances, phonetic disturbances, and TMJ discomfort. 4. In order to consult about orthognathic surgery, the patients first visited to the Dept. of oral and maxillofacial surgery at the ratio of 24.0%. 5. The ratio of the patients who underwent the presurgical orthodontic treatment was 79.5%, and the treatment usually required the period from 7 months to 18 months. 6. The setback amount was less than 10mm at the ratio of 85.8%. 7. The orthognathic operations which were practiced were usually composed of ramus osteotomy such as sagittal split ramus osteotomy and vertical ramus osteotomy and additional surgery on mandible at the ratio of 86.7%, and SSRO was done at the ratio of 62.5%, and EVRO was done at the ratio of 37.5%.

Purpose : To evaluate the radiographic change of operation sites after orthognathic surgery using the digital image processing and fractal analysis. Materials and Methods : A series of panoramic radiographs of thirty-five randomly selected patients who had undergone mandibular orthognathic surgery (bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy) without clinical complication for osseous healing, were taken. The panoramic radiographs of each selected patient were taken at pre-operation (stage 0), 1 or 2 days after operation (stage 1), 1 month after operation (stage 2), 6 months after operation (stage 3), and 12 months after operation (stage 4). The radiographs were digitized at 600 dpi, 8 bit, and 256 gray levels. The region of interest, centered on the bony gap area of the operation site, was selected and the fractal dimension was calculated by using the tile-counting method. The mean values and standard deviations of fractal dimension for each stage were calculated and the differences among stage 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 were evaluated through repeated measures of the ANOVA and paired t-test. Results : The mean values and standard deviations of the fractal dimensions obtained from stage 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 1.658±0.048, 1.580±0.050, 1.607±0.046, 1.624±0.049, and 1.641 ±0.061, respectively. The fractal dimensions from stage 1 to stage 4 were shown to have a tendency to increase (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The tendency of the fractal dimesion to increase relative to healing time may be a useful means of evaluating post-operative bony healing of the osteotomy site.

In patients with unilateral mandibular condyle hyperplasia, whether to perform condylectomy and orthognathic surgical procedures at the same time or orthognathic surgery in two stages for remains controversial. Reported here is a case of facial asymmetry with mandibular condyle hyperplasia, for which condylectomy and orthognathic surgery procedures were performed at the same time. A 28-year-old woman was presented to our department with chief complaints of left deviation of the mandible and right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) noise. Findings obtained in several imaging examinations led to a diagnosis of facial asymmetry associated with right mandibular condyle hyperplasia. Following 3 months of preoperative orthodontic treatment, in October 2018 under general anesthesia the patient underwent a right mandibular condylectomy, Le Fort I osteotomy, right mandibular sagittal split ramus osteotomy, and left mandibular inverted L ramus osteotomy. In examinations up to 3 years after surgery, good results were noted. For this case of severe facial asymmetry with mandibular condyle hyperplasia, early surgery and condylectomy were performed simultaneously to significantly shorten the total treatment time. The effectiveness of a surgery-early approach was confirmed by no postoperative findings indicating abnormalities in the TMJ or retroversion.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate transverse changes of proximal segment after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) using 3-D CT in mandibular prognathism. Patients and methods: Twenty-two patients who underwent BSSRO for mandibular set-back in class III malocclusion without facial asymmetry were examined. Miniplates were used for the fixation after BSSRO. Facial CT was taken before and after BSSRO within 3 months. Frontal-ramal inclination (FRI), inter-gonial width (IGW) and intercondylar width (ICW) were measured in 3-D CT images using V-works $4.0^{TM}$ program. Student t-test was used to compare the changes between pre- and post-operative measurements using SPSS 10.0 program. Results: 1. Mean peroperative FRI value ($12.87{\pm}3.43^{\circ}$) was slightly increased to postoperative value ($14.13{\pm}3.72^{\circ}$) (p < 0.05). The average FRI increased 10.42% and the range was from $-2.46^{\circ}$ to $3.34^{\circ}$. 2. Mean peroperative IGW ($99.01{\pm}5.36$) was slightly decreased to postoperative IGW ($96.51{\pm}5.88mm$) (p < 0.05). The average IGW decreased 2.52 % and the range was from $-6.61^{\circ}$ to 0.91 mm. 3. Mean preoperative ICW ($125.01{\pm}5.30mm$) was slightly decreased to postoperative ICW ($125.40{\pm}5.45mm$) (p < 0.05). There is no significant difference between pre- and post-operative ICW. 4. There was significant correlationship between FRI difference and IGW difference (p < 0.05). Conclusions: These results indicate that the lower ramus of the proximal segment is moved inward after BSSRO procedure for mandibular set-back.
