Coronoid hyperplasia is a rare condition of unknown aetiology that can occur in both unilateral and bilateral forms. Without radiographic investigation the diagnosis is often missed. Researchers have postulated a familial form of inheritance. This study reports the occurrence of coronoid hyperplasia in two brothers. The parents were unaffected and there are no other siblings. The diagnosis was confirmed with the aid of panoramic radiographs and axial computed tomographic scans with para-sagittal reconstructions which demonstrated enlargement of the coronoid processes and in one case impingement against the zygomatic bone. One brother was successfully treated with a unilateral intra-oral coronoidectomy whilst the other was unsuccessfully treated with a bilateral intra-oral coronoidectomy.
