Abstract

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2011;37:524-9) Orbital roof and supraorbital ridge fracture: a report of three cases Jae-Yeol Lee, Sung-Tak Lee, Yong-Deok Kim, Sang-Hun Shin, Uk-Kyu Kim, In-Kyo Chung, Dae-Seok Hwang Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, Pusan National University, Yangsan, Korea Orbital roof and supraorbital ridge fractures are frequently associated with high energy concomitant craniofacial trauma. When a displacement of the orbital roof and supraorbital rim occurs, exploration, stabilization and reconstruction are warranted to limit the ocular complications. The management of fractures involving the frontal sinus must consider the possible need for obliteration or cranialization of the sinus. Many incisions have been described and used to approach these fractures, such as a coronal incision, eyebrow incision, and an incision through the laceration. We report 3 cases of orbital roof and supraorbital ridge fracture patients with a review of the relevant literature.
