ABSTRACT

The association of Le Fort fractures and those of the nasoorbitoetmoidal complex represent severe injuries usually associated to traffic accidents or physical violence. The occurrence of such combination of fractures represents a challenge for the maxillofacial surgeon due to the great index of comminuted and displacement fragments. The initial evaluation represents the opportunity to identify and treat possible life-threatening complications such as brain damage or airway compromise; this first evaluation will also allow the establishment of diagnosis and a suitable surgical plan in order to preserve both the aesthetic and functional aspects.
