Hypertrophy of masseteric and temporalis muscles is a rare condition of unknown cause characterized by excessive increase in volume of regions surrounding these muscles. Most patients complain of aesthetic changes resulting from facial asymmetry, the so-called "square face"; however, symptoms such as trismus, protrusion, and bruxism may also occur. The aim of this paper is to report the case of a 21-year-old man with hypertrophy of masseteric and temporalis muscles who was treated surgically. On physical examination, there was a bilateral increase in volume of the region surrounding masseter and temporalis muscles. Computed tomography revealed bilateral increase in mandibular angle and coronoid process. Eighteen months after surgery, the patient is fully recovered from hypertrophy, having no functional and aesthetic complaints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
