    Computed tomography (CT) is essential for diagnosing complex facial fractures, offering a safe and rapid examination. Axial CT is preferred for acute injuries, enabling detailed imaging and reconstruction for various fracture types and complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Conventional radiology and tomography are adequate for simple facial fractures.
    • Complex facial fractures necessitate advanced imaging techniques for accurate diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the optimal diagnostic imaging approach for complex facial fractures.
    • To highlight the utility of computed tomography (CT) in evaluating facial trauma.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing unenhanced axial CT for acutely injured, stable patients.
    • Employing contiguous 5 mm slices for facial skeleton imaging, allowing coronal and sagittal reformations.
    • Considering direct coronal CT and CT after intrathecal metrizamide for specific complications like CSF leaks.

    Main Results:

    • Axial CT provides effective, safe, and rapid diagnostic imaging for facial fractures.
    • CT enables detailed visualization of facial bones and assessment of associated injuries, including cervical spine.
    • CT is effective in imaging late complications such as brain abscess and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography is the imaging modality of choice for complex facial fractures.
    • Axial CT is a versatile tool for initial assessment and subsequent image reconstruction.
    • CT aids in diagnosing and managing both acute injuries and late complications of facial trauma.
