Maxillofacial trauma imaging using CT is important to detect soft tissue and bony injuries, characterize injuries, and aid in surgical planning. Key critical facial injuries to identify include those impacting the airway like flail mandible and those impacting vision like retrobulbar hemorrhage or orbital apex fracture. The CT should systematically search for fractures of the nasal bones, zygomatic arch, mandible, dento-alveolar region, LeFort fractures, maxilla, and orbit while also checking for injuries to the airway and vision and looking for clear paranasal sinuses and pterygoid plate fractures.
