“…There is a controversy in the literature about the association of THI with MFF with some studies reporting that the percentage ranged from 5.4 to 45.5%, while in other studies the percentage can reach up to 86% in more serious MFF . Due to the close anatomical proximity of the maxillofacial bones and the cranium, it is common that patients with MFF are at increased risk of, and suffer from, THI simultaneously which can lead to primary or secondary brain damage in case of a missed or late diagnosis in such cases …”

“…[9][10][11] Due to the close anatomical proximity of the maxillofacial bones and the cranium, it is common that patients with MFF are at increased risk of, and suffer from, THI simultaneously which can lead to primary or secondary brain damage in case of a missed or late diagnosis in such cases. 2,12,13 Globally, THI will exceed many other diseases as the main cause of disability and death by the year 2020 according to the WHO as it is a significant public health problem. It impairs brain function and it often results in negative long-term or permanent physical, cognitive, behavioural and emotional changes.…”

“…The overriding parts of disseminated studies have shown high proportion in adolescent. 18 In current study, congregation in the age of 20-39 years was the mainly subjective of maxillofacial injury but in a equivalent study, the author told similar characteristics, with the a good number as often as probable predisposed age congregation being 21-30 years. 19,20,21 The etiology of maxillofacial & concomitant injuries in our study results clearly indicated RTA was the widespread causative factor followed by assaults, which were similar with the studies conducted in different parts of world.…”

ABSTRACT… Background: The incidence of maxillofacial fractures is greater in Pakistan. This research has the crucial aim of achieve and indexing maxillofacial injuries in poly trauma patients. Objectives: To assess the concomitant injuries with maxillofacial trauma. Study Design: Descriptive case series. Setting: The department of Emergency and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro. Period: Jan 2014 to Dec 2015. Methods: Total 489 patients of both genders, aged ≥20 years were included. Results: more injuries 359 (73.40%) occurs among the age of 20-39 years. The mainly documented etiologic factor for injury was RTA with 69.38%, followed by assault (16.76%), fall (11.04%) and sports injury was (2.87%). With respect to related injuries, a sum of 48 patients introduced head injuries and other concomitant injuries. The most common fracture noted was mandible 296 (60.53) followed by maxillary fractures 191 (39%), Zygomatic bone complex fractures 65 (13.29%), Naso-orabital ethmoid fractures was 44 (8.99%), majority of patients 186 (38.0%) were arrived in morning time followed by 176 (35.9%) in evening, 88 (17.9%) in afternoon and 39 (7.9%) in night, regarding the day's most patients came on first working day that was Saturday 142 (29.0%). Regarding hospital mortality, 11 (2.2%) people died within less than two days after admittance. Conclusion: The results of this study may support the oral surgeons to rule out other injuries at the time of primary survey and may have a key role in awareness of individuals in prevention of road traffic accidents.

“…Several studies also show that fractures in the facial area have led to the brain and spine cord problems. The study of Grant et al [9], which conducted in the US, determined that brain damages in people with facial fractures were generally 67 percent. Hugh et al [10] in a study showed that the incidence of brain damage associated with facial fractures is estimated to be 17.5 percent.…”

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of brain and neck injuries in patients with maxillofacial fractures in teaching hospitals of the city of Rasht in 2016. This is an analytical retrospective study. Some 361 patients of the training centers of Rasht who had been diagnosed with maxillofacial fractures entered the study, 286 of which were male and 75 were female. Information was collected through questionnaires and patients' records who admitted to Emergency Department of Poursina and Velayat Hospitals with maxillofacial fractures. The patients were examined to see whether they have brain and cervical spine injuries. The diagnosis of the fracture and brain and neck injuries had been separately written by the related doctors on the records of the patients based on clinical examination and Plain radiography and CT scans. After data collection, the results were analyzed. The results showed that 61 percent of the fractures were due to accidents. Among the most common spine damages, 77 percent were related to bone fractures. The highest frequency of brain damages was related to Extradural Hematoma by 23.65 percent. Results of the treatments also showed that 76% of the patients were partially recovered.
