Abstract
A case of mandibular asymmetry is presented. It appears that in this p atient the mandible was adapted to changes in the maxillary sinus area . Abnormal bone growth of unknown aetiology inside the sinus most like ly caused complete remodelling in the maxillary sinuses and asymmetry of the mandible. Special tests used for detailed assessment of the pat ient supported the definitive diagnosis.
