Introduction:
In 80% of all body injuries, trauma occurs in the head and neck region.Traumas in the maxillofacial region are usually caused by traffic accidents, gunshot wounds and sports accidents.Computed tomography (CT) is the most preferred imaging modality in maxillofacia traumas.In this case; It was aimed to preserve the function, prevent possible complications and aesthetic problems by making a detailed evaluation with pre-op CT.
Case Presentation:
As a result of CT evaluations performed after a traffic accident in a 24-year-old male patient, right superior orbital wall fracture, bilateral zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture and corpus fracture in the right mandible were detected and he was consulted to our clinic.Clinical examination revealed right periorbital swelling, ecchymosis, occlusion disorder, and lip laceration.The patient was operated after his vital signs were stabilized in the intensive care unit.Fracture lines in the right mandible corpus and zygomaticomaxillary complex were brought closer to each other and fixed with a miniplate and screw.After the orbital floor and superior orbital rim were fixed with a miniplate, titanium mesh was placed on the orbital floor.No complications were observed.
Conclusion:
Maxillofacial traumas are an important cause of morbidity and require planned treatment and follow-up.After 3 months of follow-up, the patient showed satisfactory aesthetic and functional results in the examination.
