The geni processes are projections present on the lingual surface of the mandibular symphysis. Fracture and complete separation of them from the mandibular remnant is rare and although it is not frequently associated with striking symptoms, it can be a life-threatening condition, therefore, it is necessary to know in which cases a specific treatment should be considered.

Palabras clave : Mandible; fracture; geni processes; genial tubercles.
