Abstract

Zygomaticomaxillary fractures are complex fractures that can involve the oor of the orbit. These fractures often lead to complications like diplopia, disability in rotation of the eye superiorly due to herniation of muscle and orbital fat into the maxillary sinus. These fractures if left untreated can result in malunion, visual disturbances and are not aesthetically pleasing due to effect on the symmetry of face. Various treatment modalities are available for the treatment of zygomaticomaxillary fracture and reconstruction of the oor of the orbit. Complications include retrobulbar hemorrhage, orbital ssure syndrome, and reduction in orbital volume, with minor effects like ectropion or entropion. A case report of a 21-year-old male patient with a Orbit zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture is described.
