概要	Introduction Management of condylar fractures in children is especially important. If not properly treated, these fractures may lead to serious problems, such as ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint. This article describes an extraordinarily favorable recovery after conservative treatment of a unilateral condylar fracture in a 4-year-old girl. Case presentation A 4-year-old Japanese girl was referred to our institution with a right mandibular condylar fracture caused by a fall. In this article, we report the 2-year follow-up of this case by clinical and radiological evaluations after conservative treatment, highlighting the strategy used. Conclusions The outcomes throughout the 2-year followup and the remodeling process of the condyle observed on panoramic radiographs and computed tomographic images proved the suitability of the conservative treatment.
