Reconstruction of maxillofacial deformity in a patient with Acromegaly by orthognathic surgery: case report

Abstract

This report presents the surgical correction of maxillofacial deformity due to acromegaly using orthognathic surgery. A 21-year-old male patient with a history of pituitary adenoma presented with mandibular prognathism and facial asymmetry. After achieving hormonal stability, 20 months of orthodontic preparation were followed by Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Postoperative cephalometric analysis revealed improved skeletal relationships. A transient open bite occurred and was managed conservatively. No major complications were observed. This case highlights the value of multidisciplinary management in acromegaly-related skeletal deformities
