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] The proximity of maxillary and ethmoidal sinus ...
A craniotomy is a surgical operation in which a bone flap is temporarily removed from the skull to access the brain. Craniotomies are often critical operations, performed on patients who are suffering from brain lesions, such as tumors, blood clots, removal of foreign bodies such as bullets, or traumatic brain injury (TBI), and can also allow ...
Frontal bone. Inner surface. (The Pars orbitalis is the bottom third.) The orbital or horizontal part of the frontal bone ( pars orbitalis) consists of two thin triangular plates, the orbital plates, which form the vaults of the orbits, and are separated from one another by a median gap, the ethmoidal notch .
Facial trauma, also called maxillofacial trauma, is any physical trauma to the face. Facial trauma can involve soft tissue injuries such as burns, lacerations and bruises, or fractures of the facial bones such as nasal fractures and fractures of the jaw, as well as trauma such as eye injuries. Symptoms are specific to the type of injury; for ...
Mandibular fracture, also known as fracture of the jaw, is a break through the mandibular bone. In about 60% of cases the break occurs in two places. [1] It may result in a decreased ability to fully open the mouth. [1] Often the teeth will not feel properly aligned or there may be bleeding of the gums. [1]
Craniosynostosis is a condition in which one or more of the fibrous sutures in a young infant's skull prematurely fuses by turning into bone (ossification), [2] thereby changing the growth pattern of the skull. [3] Because the skull cannot expand perpendicular to the fused suture, it compensates by growing more in the direction parallel to the ...
Idiopathic orbital inflammatory ( IOI) disease refers to a marginated mass-like enhancing soft tissue involving any area of the orbit. It is the most common painful orbital mass in the adult population, and is associated with proptosis, cranial nerve palsy ( Tolosa–Hunt syndrome ), uveitis, and retinal detachment.
The medical uses of silver include its use in wound dressings, creams, and as an antibiotic coating on medical devices. [2] [3] [4] Wound dressings containing silver sulfadiazine or silver nanomaterials may be used to treat external infections. [5] [6] [7] The limited evidence available shows that silver coatings on endotracheal breathing tubes ...
