Popis:	Progressive condylar resorption is a rare complication following orthognathic surgery. Its aetiology and pathogenesis remains unclear, although several theories have been suggested to explain it. Management modalities for progressive condylar resorption range from conservative follow-up to a second corrective orthognathic surgery. This is a report of a unilateral case of severe progressive condylar resorption that occurred in a female patient with class II skeletal deformity after bimaxillary osteotomy. The patient was followed-up for 9 years post-operatively.
