Congenital maxillo-mandibular fusion is a rare disorder of the craniofacial region. Maintenance of the airway and difficulty in feeding are the main concerns in such patients. We performed a PUBMED search to identify reported cases of syngnathia. In reference to the site of fusion and corresponding anomalies, the available articles were reviewed. The maxillo-mandibular fusion can be anterior fusion, unilateral or bilateral fusion and complete fusion. The condition can be seen as an isolated problem or associated with a syndrome. The condition may require an immediate attention as it can be fatal. A case of isolated unilateral syngnathia has been discussed in this manuscript along with the detailed review of the literature.
