Facial trauma can cause injuries to soft tissues, bones, or both from causes like automobile accidents, sports injuries, assaults, and more. Common signs include pain, swelling, epistaxis, and loss of function. Management involves airway control, hemorrhage control, wound treatment, and addressing specific bone fractures like those of the nasal bones, orbits, maxilla, and mandible through closed or open reduction methods. Facial fractures require careful examination, imaging, and surgical or non-surgical treatment to restore facial form and function.
This document discusses a case of facial and neck trauma. It describes injuries to the face including lacerations of the lip and chin. It also notes a penetrating injury of the neck. Based on the description and examination findings, the injuries involve the facial structures like the lips and chin as well as penetrating the neck, potentially implicating vascular or aerodigestive structures in the neck. Immediate management would involve exploration and repair of significant injuries.

Emergency management of patients with facial traumaAhmed Adawy
Maxillofacial trauma requires careful assessment and management of the airway to prevent obstruction. The primary survey assesses and treats immediate life threats like airway, breathing, and hemorrhage. Airway management may require basic techniques like chin lift or advanced methods like endotracheal intubation. Bleeding is also a risk and can often be controlled through fracture reduction, packing, or embolization. Fluid resuscitation must balance preventing further blood loss with restoring perfusion.
Nasal fractures are common injuries that result from blunt force trauma to the nose. The nasal bones are the most frequently fractured part of the facial skeleton due to their prominent location and thin structure. Nasal fractures are often classified based on the direction and extent of displacement. Diagnosis involves history, physical exam, and imaging. Treatment ranges from closed reduction for non-displaced fractures to open reduction for severely displaced fractures. Closed reduction involves manipulating the bones back into position using nasal speculums and forceps followed by splinting.

They are complex injuries that can damage the lacrimal apparatus and cause complications like epiphora. Diagnosis involves CT scans and clinical exams. Management principles include early repair, precise fixation to restore anatomy, and grafting of bone defects. Potential complications include telecanthus, enophthalmos, and cerebrospinal fluid leaks.
This document discusses evaluation, diagnosis, and reconstruction techniques for maxillofacial trauma and defects. It covers anatomy of the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face. Evaluation includes airway assessment, physical exam, and CT imaging. Surgical approaches are described for different areas, along with repair of frontal sinus, orbital, LeFort, mandible, and midface fractures. Local flaps such as pivotal and advancement are outlined for reconstructing small facial defects, while larger defects require regional or microvascular flaps.
This document discusses maxillary fractures, including their classification, signs and symptoms, radiographic evaluation, management, and treatment. It describes Erich's and Marciani's classifications of maxillary fractures, which are based on the fracture lines and levels. Signs and symptoms are provided for LeFort I, II, and III fractures. Treatment involves stabilization, reduction, fixation, and immobilization. Management principles focus on airway control, stabilization, debridement, reduction, fixation, and rehabilitation.
Facial trauma can cause injuries to soft tissues, bones, or both from accidents like car crashes or assaults. Common signs are pain, swelling, bleeding, and changes to facial structure or function. Treatment involves airway management, bleeding control, wound care, and treating underlying bone fractures. Fractures of the maxilla and mandible are classified by location and require techniques like interdental wiring, plates or screws for fixation.
This document discusses maxillofacial trauma, including injuries to soft tissues and bones of the face. It describes fractures of the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face, including the nasal bones, orbits, zygoma, and maxilla. The maxilla fractures are classified using Le Fort classifications, with Le Fort I being a horizontal fracture through the maxilla, Le Fort II being a pyramidal fracture through the maxilla and orbits, and Le Fort III being a craniofacial dissociation fracture extending into the skull. Clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment approaches are provided for each type of facial fracture.
Slides prepared by highly experienced ENT teacher, Dr. Krishna Koirala from Nepal , for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate MBBS students in the field of otorhinolaryngology. A clear and concise explanation of the basic concepts in the subject matter concerned.
This document discusses maxillary fractures, including:
- The anatomy of the maxilla and buttressing structures that resist forces.
- Common causes of maxillary fractures like motor vehicle accidents.
- The Le Fort classification system for maxillary fractures and its limitations.
- Signs and symptoms of different types of Le Fort fractures like ecchymosis, mobility, and malocclusion.
- Investigations like CT scans to evaluate fractures.
- Management considerations including airway protection, stabilization, and definitive surgical treatment.
Nasal fractures are common facial injuries caused by blunt force trauma to the nose, such as sports injuries, assaults, or falls. The nasal bones and septum can be broken or cracked. Symptoms include bruising, swelling, deformity, and breathing difficulties. Diagnosis involves examining the nose internally and externally to check for deformities, mobility, and septal hematomas. Treatment options include closed reduction to manipulate the bones back into position or open reduction for more severe fractures. Complications can include saddle nose deformity if the septum is not properly supported during healing.
This document discusses different levels and approaches for endoscopic skull base surgery. It focuses on the transcribriform and transplanum approaches. The transcribriform approach involves removing the cribriform plate to access the anterior skull base. It is used for anterior skull base meningiomas and esthesioneuroblastomas. The transplanum approach removes the planum sphenoidale and tuberculum sellae to reach lesions in the suprasellar region, such as pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas. Both approaches aim to devascularize the tumor early and resect attachments to the skull base. Care must be taken to avoid critical neurovascular structures during resection.
This document discusses the surgical management of sphenoid wing meningiomas. It covers the anatomy, classification, clinical presentation, diagnosis using CT, MRI and angiography, surgical treatment approaches including pterional, alar/middle, and clinoidal craniotomies, reconstruction after resection, potential complications, and results. The goal of surgery is radical resection of the tumor along with the dural implant and any hyperostotic bone to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

3. Maxillofacial Injuries
• Treatment divided into following phases
– Emergency or initial care
– Early care
– Definitive care
– Secondary care or revision
4. Emergency Care
• Preserve the airway
• Control of hemorrhage
• Prevent or control shock
• C-Spine stabilization
• Control of life-threatening injuries
– head injuries, chest injuries, compound limb
fractures, intra-abdominal bleeding
5. Emergency Care
• Evaluate the airway
– Existence & identification of obstruction
– Manually clear of fractured teeth, blood clots,
dentures
– Endotracheal intubation & packing of oronasal
airway
6. Emergency Care
• Airway Management
– Maintain an intact airway
– Protect airway in jeopardy
– Provide an airway
• C-Spine injury may be present
• Altered level of consciousness is the most
common cause of upper airway obstruction
7. Airway Management
• Chin lift to open intact
airway
• Intubation
– Oral: C-spine injury absent on X
ray
– Nasotracheal intubation: C-spine injury
suspected or certain
• Surgical Airway
– Cricothyroidotomy
– Tracheosotomy
8. Emergency Care
• Extensive vascularity of head & neck may
lead to massive blood loss
– Monitor vital signs closely
– Intravenous infusion
• Penetrating injuries need to be explored
– Arteriogram
– Esophagram
9. Treatment of Blood Loss & Shock
• Hemorrhage most common cause of shock
after injury
• Multiple injury patients
have hypovolemia
• Goal is to restore organ
perfusion
10. Treatment of Blood Loss & Shock
• External bleeding controlled by direct
pressure over bleeding site
• Gain prompt access to vascular system with
IV catheters
• Fluid replacement
– Ringer’s Lactate
– Normal saline
– Transfusion
11. Stabilization of associated injuries
• C-spine injury is primary concern with all
maxillofacial trauma victims
– Any patient with injury above clavicle or head
injury resulting in unconscious state
– Any injury produced by high speed
– Signs/symptoms of C-Spine injury
• Neurologic deficit
• Neck pain
12. Stabilization of associated injuries
• C-spine injury suspected
– Avoid any movement of spinal
column
– Establish & maintain proper
immobilization until vertebral
fractures or spinal cord injuries
ruled out
• Lateral C-spine radiographs
• CT of C-spine
• Neurologic exam
16. Early Care
– Emergency care has stabilized patient
– Initial stabilization of fractures
– Debridement & dressing of soft tissues
– Elective tracheostomy
– Physical exam & history
– Laboratory tests
– Complete head & neck examination
• Diagnosis of maxillofacial injuries
27. Soft tissue injury
– Facial lacerations not complicated by
associated injury can be managed in an ER
setting
– Large extensive facial and scalp lacerations are
preferably closed in an operating room
environment
30. Associated Soft Tissue Injury
• Lacrimal System
• Parotid Duct
• Facial Nerve
– Surgical repair if posterior to vertical line
drawn from outer canthus of eye
31. Associated Soft Tissue Injury
Remember to think in 3D
for there are always
other structures involved!
32. Mandibular Fractures
• Mandible is second most
common fractured facial
bone
• 50% of mandibular
fractures are multiple
– Examine patient and
radiographs closely and
suspect additional
fractures
34. Mandibular Fractures
• Treatment depends on fracture site and
amount of segment displacement
• Closed reduction
– Application of arch bars
– Placement into intermaxillary fixation (IMF)
• Open Reduction
– Internal wire fixation
– Bone plates
38. Midface Fractures
• LeFort I Transverse Maxillary
• Lefort II Pyramidal
• Lefort III Craniofacial Dysjunction
• Zygomatic Complex
• Orbital Floor
• Nasal Fractures
• Naso-orbital/Ethmoid
39. Midface Fractures
• Three buttresses allow
face to absorb force
– Nasomaxillary (medial)
buttress
– Zymaticomaxillary
(lateral) buttress
– Pyterigomaxillary
(posterior) buttress
40. Lefort Classification
• Weakest areas of midfacial complex when
assaulted from a frontal direction at
different levels (Rene’ Lefort, 1901)
– Lefort I: above the level of teeth
– Lefort II: at level of nasal bones
– Lefort III: at orbital level
41. Lefort Classification
– Provides uniform method to describe the level
of major fracture lines
– Allows references regarding the probable
points of stability for surgical treatment
– Does not incorporate vertical or segmental
fractures, comminution or bone loss
45. Facial Examination
• Evaluate for laceration
• Obvious depression in skull
• Asymmetry
• Discharge from nose or ear
– Assume CSF leak
• Palpation to note bone
discontinuity
– Bimanually in systematic manner
46. Facial Examination
• Evaluate mandibular opening
• Palpation of buccal vestibule
Crepitus of lateral antral wall
• Occlusion evaluated
Absence and quality
of dentition noted
• Ecchymosis common finding
• Pharynx evaluated for
laceration & bleeding
55. Treatment of Midface Fractures
• Once patient’s condition
stabilized, no need to rush to
surgery
– Address rapidly developing
edema
– Formulate treatment plan
– Observe sequelae in the case of
orbital injuries
56. Diagnosis of Lefort I Fractures
• Direction of force
• Maxilla displaced posteriorly
and inferiorly
– Open bite deformity
• Hypoesthesia of infraorbital
nerve
• Malocclusion
• Mobility of maxilla
– Noted by grasping maxillary
incisors
57. Treatment of Lefort I Fractures
– Direct exposure of all involved
fractures
– Reduction and anatomic
realignment of the maxillary
buttresses to reestablish
• Anterior projection
• Transverse width
• Occlusion
– Restoration of occlusion using
IMF
– Internal fixation using
miniplate fixation
59. Diagnosis of Lefort II and III
• Clinical evaluation provides only a rough
impression since swelling hides the
underlying bony structures
• Plain film radiographs and axial and coronal
CT images are the basis for precise
diagnosis & treatment plan
60. Diagnosis Lefort II and III
• Bilateral periorbital
edema & ecchymosis
• Step deformity palpated
infraorbital & nasofrontal
area
• CSF rhinorrhea
• Epistaxis
61. Treatment of Lefort II and III
• Fractures should be treated as early as the
general condition of the patient allows
• Team approach to treatment
– Neurosurgery
– Ophthamology
– ENT
– Plastic surgery
– Oral/Maxillofacial surgery
62. Treatment of Lefort II and III
• Intubation must not interfere with ability to use
IMF
• Exposure & visualization of all fractures
– Approaches to inferior rim
• Infraorbital
• Subciliary
• Transconjunctival
• Mid lower lid
– Coronal approach
– Gingivobuccal incision
63. Fractures
Teeth and occlusion are
the key to
reconstruction and
provide the
foundation upon
which other facial
structures are built
64. Treatment of Lefort II and III
– Severely comminuted fractures preliminary
approximation may be performed with wire
– Establishment of the correct occlusion
– Correct reconstruction of the outer facial
frame for proper facial dimensions
– Correct position for nasoethmoidal complex
65. Treatment of Lefort II and III
– Reestablishment of the correct intercanthal
distance
– Infraorbital rim fixated
– Orbit is reconstructed
– Occlusion unit with IMF is fixated
68. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid (NOE) Fractures
– Usually not isolated event
– Frequently associated with
multiple midface fractures
– Secondary to traumatic insult to
radix area of nose
– Low resistance to directional
force
• 35-80 gm necessary to
produce fracture
69. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
• Diagnosis
– Ophthalmalogic evaluation
• Document visual acuity
• Pupillary response to light
– Neurologic evaluation
• Frontal lobe contusion
• Glasgow coma scale
– Increase in ICP and need for monitoring
71. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
• Clinical signs & symptoms
– Traumatic telecanthus
• Difficult to measure due to
edema
– Average 33-34 mm
• Can measure interpupillary
distance and divide in half for
approximate intercanthal
distance
– Average 60-65 mm
– Damage to lacrimal apparatus-
epiphora
– CSF leak
72. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
• Radiographic examination
– CT - definitive imaging modality
• Axial images supplemented
with coronal
• Plain films to fail
demonstrate the degree and
location of fractures
secondary to over-lapping of
bony archi- tecture
76. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
• Nasal fractures
– Rule out septal hematoma
– Remove clots with suction, incise
and drain if present to prevent
septal necrosis
– Closed reduction for simple
fractures
– Open reduction for severely
displaced fractures
77. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
Nasal Fractures
• Treatment
– Restoration of form and
function
– Proper reduction of nasal
fractures
– Correction of medial
canthal ligament disruption
– Correction of lacrimal
system injuries
78. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
• Surgical considerations
– Definitive surgery as soon as
possible after:
• Appropriate consultations
• Definitive radiographic
imaging
• Significant edema allowed
to resolve
79. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
• Surgical considerations
– The final phase involves reduction of the NOE
and nasal bone fractures
– Access to NOE through existing lacerations,
bicoronal flap, or local incisions
80. Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
• Lacrimal system injury
– When the medial canthal ligament has been
injured or displaced, damage to the lacrimal
system should be assumed
– Nasolacrimal duct is often damaged within its
bony course
– Epiphora: Need to evaluate patency of the
nasolacrimal system
