“…1,2 For an outpatient with suspected mandibular fractures, a combination of panoramic tomography and plain film allows acceptable evaluation of simple fractures. 3 With significant advances in diagnostic modalities, CT is the objective standard for assessing the maxillofacial skeleton, particularly the midfacial region, [3][4][5] and is more sensitive than panoramic radiography, particularly for mandibular fractures of the angle, ramus or condyle. [6][7][8][9] A cone beam CT scan provides more useful additional information than conventional radiographs of mandibular trauma in conscious ambulatory patients.…”

Mandibular fractures accompanied by posterior maxillary fractures are not rare. The finding of a unilateral posterior maxillary fracture on CT may aid the efficient radiological examination of the mandible based on possible patterns of associated fractures, as follows: in the ipsilateral posterior region as a direct fracture when the impact is a medially directed force, and in the symphysis/parasymphysis or contralateral condylar neck as an indirect fracture.

“…However, to date the MRT is seldom available for this purpose in many clinics, but if so needs to be combined with a CT scan to provide information about the bony structures. Already in the 1980s it was suggested that oblique sagittal projections of the orbit gave valuable complements to the coronal CT views [18], especially in the assessment of the soft tissues, i.e., providing a possibility to evaluate the status of the inferior rectus muscle and its lengthwise extension [19].…”

Purpose The present study aims to investigate how well CT images correlate to surgical findings in orbital floor fractures and to the presence of diplopia. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 27 consecutive patients already selected for surgery due to an orbital floor fracture underwent a routine CT scan (axial, coronal, sagittal). An ophthalmologist established any presence of diplopia. Extent of fracture/injury seen on CT was compared to that discovered during surgery. Results In the surgeons´ opinions CT-images were in concordance with surgical findings in 71% of the cases. Agreement for pure blow out fractures was high (92%). Tetrapod fractures as a cause of an orbital floor fracture was only identified as such by surgeons in three of 11 cases, all subjected to orbital exploration, not only a closed reduction. Diplopia showed a significant correlation to rounding of the inferior rectus muscle at coronal CT. “Rounding” significantly correlated with the presence of a floor defect, to herniation of soft tissues and to the volume of displaced tissue. Conclusions The results imply that the joint professional interaction between neuroradiology and surgery is important and would benefit from the use of an easy and well-defined classification system of orbital floor fractures. In Sweden a national record to collect data on all zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures assessed is to be started aiming at making general statements possible by time.
