Nasal fractures are usually identified visually and through physical examination. [1] In addition, relevant questions to ask the patient include whether there is a noticeable cosmetic deformity and whether the patient has difficulty breathing through the nose after the injury. Medical imaging is generally not recommended.
Fracture of maxilla and/or orbital floor. [7] Abnormal growth of mucous membrane of sinus . [8] Dental cyst. [3] For management of hematoma or hemorrhage in the maxillary sinus; To treat fractures involving floor of the orbit or anterior maxillary sinus wall (transantral repair)
In adults, nasal septal hematoma typically occur with significant facial trauma and/or nasal fracture. [6] However, in children, due to their thicker septum and more flexible lining, nasal septal hematoma can be caused from minor nasal trauma such as simple falls, collisions with stationary objects, or minor altercations with siblings.

The ethmoid fracture can produce bone fragments that penetrate the cribriform plate. This trauma can lead to a leak of cerebrospinal fluid into the nasal cavity. These openings let opportunistic bacteria in the nasal cavity enter the sterile environment of the central nervous system (CNS).
Cranio-maxillofacial trauma, including zygomatic (cheek bone), orbital (eye socket), mandibular and nasal fractures as well as facial soft tissue lacerations and penetrating neck injuries Craniofacial surgery /pediatric maxillofacial surgery, including cleft lip and palate surgery and trans-cranial craniofacial surgery including Fronto-Orbital ...
In the 27-year-old's brief return to the lineup, he averaged 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 27 minutes of play in two games. He's missed 19 contests so far this season due to injuries.
The two horizontal plates join at the midline and form the posterior nasal spine that gives attachment to the musculus uvulae in the uvula. The two maxilla bones join at the base of the nose at the lower nasal midline between the nostrils, and at the top of the philtrum to form the anterior nasal spine. This thin projection of bone holds the ...
For example, fractures of the orbital floor or medial orbital wall of the eye can entrap the medial rectus or inferior rectus muscles. [29] In facial wounds, tear ducts and nerves of the face may be damaged. [3] Fractures of the frontal bone can interfere with the drainage of the frontal sinus and can cause sinusitis. [30]
