摘要

Introduction

Bipartite zygoma is a rare anatomical variation resulting from failure of fusion of ossification centers. It may closely mimic fracture lines on imaging, leading to diagnostic dilemmas in maxillofacial practice.

Materials & Methods

We report a case of bilateral bipartite zygoma in a patient presenting with long-standing facial asymmetry. The clinical and radiological findings, along with its surgical and diagnostic implications, are discussed.

Conclusion

Awareness of bipartite zygoma is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and to guide appropriate management.
