| Summary: | Bifid mandibular condyle is a rare entity, in which the head of the condyle presents with double head usually separated by notching between the heads, thus it is also known as double-headed condyle. It is a frequent and purely incidental finding, mostly found in asymptomatic individuals during routine radiological investigation. It may occur as a developmental anomaly or due to trauma. Here, we report two unique cases of unilateral bifid condyles, which was an incidental finding during diagnostic imaging procedure. |
