Facial trauma, often from car accidents, requires radiological investigation to assess functional and cosmetic impacts. This review covers imaging techniques like CT and MRI for diagnosing facial bone, orbit, and sinus fractures.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Maxillofacial trauma is common, frequently resulting from motor vehicle accidents despite safety advancements.
  • Severe facial injuries necessitate radiological assessment to evaluate functional and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Radiological exploration aims to identify fracture details, displacement, and soft tissue complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of clinical evaluation and various imaging modalities in diagnosing facial trauma.
  • To correlate imaging findings with anatomical and physiopathological considerations.
  • To present a practical classification system for facial trauma, including paranasal sinus, facial bone, orbital, mandibular, and temporomandibular joint injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical evaluation, plain X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

  • Correlation of imaging findings with anatomical and physiopathological aspects.
  • Presentation of a classification system for facial trauma.

    • Main Results:

    • Imaging is crucial for defining fracture number, location, displacement, and associated soft tissue injuries.
    • CT and MRI are key modalities for detailed assessment of complex facial fractures.
    • The classification system aids in organizing and understanding diverse facial trauma patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiological evaluation is essential for comprehensive management of maxillofacial trauma.
    • Accurate diagnosis guides treatment decisions, optimizing functional and cosmetic results.
    • A systematic approach to imaging and classification improves patient care for facial injuries.
