  2. Mandibular fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_fracture

    Mandible fracture causes vary by the time period and the region studied. In North America, blunt force trauma (a punch) is the leading cause of mandible fracture [37] whereas in India, motor vehicle collisions are now a leading cause. [38] On battle grounds, it is more likely to be high velocity injuries (bullets and shrapnel). [39]

  3. Orbital blowout fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_blowout_fracture

    An orbital blowout fracture is a traumatic deformity of the orbital floor or medial wall that typically results from the impact of a blunt object larger than the orbital aperture, or eye socket. [1] Most commonly this results in a herniation of orbital contents through the orbital fractures. [ 1 ]

  4. Pterygomandibular space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterygomandibular_space

    The pterygomandibular space is one of the possible spaces into which a tooth may be displaced into during dental extraction, e.g. of a maxillary wisdom tooth. [5] A mandibular fracture in the angle region may also be the cause of a pterygomandibular space infection. [1]

  5. Submasseteric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submasseteric_space

    Sometimes mandibular fractures in the region of the angle of the mandible may cause an infection of the submasseteric space. [1] The signs and symptoms of a submasseteric abscess may include marked trismus (i.e. difficulty opening the mouth, since the masseter elevates the mandible and it becomes restricted) and swelling in the region of the ...

  6. Zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomaticomaxillary...

    Failure to correct can result in rotational deformity and increase the volume of the orbit, causing the eye to sink inwards. [citation needed] Fractures with displacement require surgery consisting of fracture reduction with miniplates, microplates and screws. Gillie's approach is used for depressed zygomatic fractures. [5]

  7. Dental trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_trauma

    3D CT of mandible fracture. This injury involves the alveolar bone and may extend beyond the alveolus. [5] [6] There are five different types of alveolar fractures: Communicated fracture of the socket wall; Fracture of the socket wall; Dentoalveolar fracture (segmental) Fracture of the maxilla: Le Fort fracture, zygomatic fracture, orbital blowout

  8. Superior orbital fissure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orbital_fissure

    The superior orbital fissure is divided into 3 parts from lateral to medial: [citation needed] Lateral part transmits: superior ophthalmic vein , lacrimal nerve , frontal nerve , trochlear nerve (CN IV), recurrent meningeal branch of lacrimal artery (anastomotic branch of lacrimal artery with the middle meningeal artery )

  9. Facial trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_trauma

    The mandible may be fractured at its symphysis, body, angle, ramus, and condyle. [4] The zygoma (cheekbone) and the frontal bone (forehead) are other sites for fractures. [13] Fractures may also occur in the bones of the palate and those that come together to form the orbit of the eye.
