Abstract:
Le Fort I osteotomy is the technique most applied worldwide in the treatment of dentoskeletal deformity involving the maxilla. Even though it is considered a very safe technique with good intra- and postoperative results, many complications have been described. This paper presents a case of carotid jugular fistula developed in a 22-year-old white male submitted to Le Fort I osteotomy for the treatment of anteroposterior maxillary deficiency, and discusses the possible aetiology and management of this serious complication.
