It is an uncommon malformation of the mandible involving change in size and morphology of the condylar neck and head. Classification of the different types of CH can differ depending on the authors. Although, clinical examination and history provided by the patient are key inputs for the diagnosis of this entity, advanced imaging is an essential tool in deciding the correct time and type of treatment. Case Report: Here we present two cases of Unilateral Condylar hyperplasia with their respective scans and a review on etiology, classification and imaging modalities for the same.
