“…[3,21,22] This is similar to the predominantly young male population found in our study. Fasola et al [23] studied the trend of maxillofacial injuries and related the recent tendency of equal male: female injury ratio to an increasing percentage of women in the workforce.…”

“…Surgical residents are commonly taught to develop a systematic approach to reviewing CT scans to avoid missing any facial injuries. 6 When encountering pterygoid plate fractures on imaging, the resident may keep in mind that a pterygoid plate fracture is associated with Le Fort fractures approximately two thirds of the time. One third of the time other craniofacial injuries, however, may extend into and damage the pterygoid plates.…”

Pterygoid plate fractures are often described in the setting of Le Fort fractures. The goal of this study was to define other craniofacial fracture patterns causing injury to the pterygoid plates. A retrospective review of computed tomography (CT) scans obtained on craniofacial trauma patients over a 5-year period revealed 209 patients with pterygoid plate fractures. Pterygoid plate fractures in 78 patients (37.3%) were unrelated to Le Fort fractures. Common causes included sphenotemporal buttress fractures in 26 patients (33.3%), temporal bone fractures in 18 patients (23.1%), zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures in 17 patients (21.8%), and displaced mandible fractures in 14 patients (17.9%). These findings indicate that approximately one third of pterygoid plate fractures do not result from Le Fort pattern injuries and that the craniofacial surgeon should have a broad differential for causes of pterygoid plate fractures when reviewing trauma imaging.

“…7 The ability of CT scan to simultaneously depict both osseous and soft tissue structures expands the role that diagnostic radiology plays in evaluation of facial fractures. 8 Two and three dimensional CT scan were used for evaluation of maxillofacial trauma. Three dimensional CT scan demonstrates spatial relationships not easily conceptualized by two dimensional CT scan but was time consuming and had limited resolution.…”

OBJECTIVE:Maxillofacial injuries are one of commonest injuries encountered. Roentgenographic evaluation of maxillofacial trauma is of prime importance for diagnosis and treatment of these injuries. STUDY DESIGN: Forty patients were evaluated in prospective four year study. We studied and evaluated the demography and diagnostic efficacy of clinical, plain radiography, and computed scan in maxillofacial trauma. RESULT: Road traffic accidents were commonest cause of maxillofacial injuries. Patients having multiple fractures, mandibular fractures was commonest. CONCLUSION: Computed tomography proved a useful adjunct in mid facial trauma.
