Occurrence of a false aneurysm following sub condylar fracture of the mandible is extremely uncommon despite the close proximity of the maxillary artery to the fracture site. However a delay…
This is a clinical presentation and management of an unusual orbit injury caused by wooden pieces. A 41-year-old male was referred to the oral and maxillofacial team at Al Mafraq…
Background and objectives : One of the most demanding aspects of emergency medicine is the management of patients who have suffered facial trauma. Difficult circumstances such as the high number…
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons play an important role in the treatment of patients in wartime, because many wounded individuals suffer from injuries in the facial area, maxillofacial surgeons represent a…
Background and objectives : A zygomatic fracture is one of the most common types of maxillofacial injuries. A lot of controversies are present regarding the surgical approaches, reduction and amount…
Management of craniosynostosis is based on early surgical correction including synostotic sutures liberation and orbit-cranial remodeling. The introduction of resorbable fixation methods has become the state of art in this…
Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a craniofacial anomaly characterized by the unilateral underdevelopment of the structures that originate from the first and second branchial arches. The asymmetry involves the mandible, ear,…
Background : The possible sequelae of maxillary osteotomies are numerous. High Le Fort and pyramidal osteotomies can be susceptible to nasolacrimal duct injury, hemorrhage and blindness. High Le Fort I…
Objective : To evaluate whether there is any remodeling of bone at infraorbital rim following maxillary distraction osteogenesis (DO) at Le Fort-I level. Design : A total of 12 North…
Background : The anterior plagiocephaly may lead to an important aesthetic variation in the frontal aspect of the cranium, also can affect the occipital section as part of a compensatory…
Introduction : The fusion of the metopic suture, produces an aesthetic alteration of the anterior aspect of the frontal bone. Many surgical techniques have been described for its solution; we…
Distraction osteogenesis of the mid-face alleviates the requirements of substantial autogenous bone grafts and donor site morbidity and alleviates the restriction of the soft-tissue envelope in gaining advancement of the…
Background and objectives : Craniosynostosis is a congenital disorder in which one or more cranial sutures are closed prematurely. Therapy consists of an endoscopic assisted repair of craniosynostosis and postoperative…
Patient with trigonocephaly may present a prominent “keel”, forehead accompanied by recession of the lateral orbit rims, hipotelorism and constriction of the anterior frontal fossa. In a period between 2007…
Objectives : We evaluated the correlation between the skeletal facial advancement through Le Fort III osteotomy and the modification of polysomnographic values in syndromic patients with sleep respiratory disorders affected…
Goldenhar’s syndrome is a birth defect resulting from the mal-development of the first two branchial arches, with incomplete development of the ear, nose, soft palate, lip and mandible. The phenotype…
Background : Although helmet treatment is still controversially discussed, the efficiency is evident. The outcome depends significantly on an optimal entrance age of 4–6 months of life. But often parents…
Measuring the volume and quantifying the shape of orbits is a technical challenge. Here we aimed to define methods for measuring orbital volume and characterising orbital shape in patients with…
Background and objectives : Robin sequence (RS) is associated with glossoptosis, micrognathia, and airway obstruction. A U-shaped cleft palate may or may not be present. The retro-positioned mandible pushes the…
Introduction : Posterior vault remodelation can prevent intracranial hypertension, improve the Chiari malformation condition and the aesthetics concerns and delay the fronto-orbital advancement in syndromic craniosynostosis. Conventional techniques of posterior…
