17
Q

life threatening facial injuries

A
  1. hemorrhage (tx with anterior-posterior nasal packing, angio, ligation of external carotid, superficial temporal arteries), usually internal maxillary artery, nasal/sinus branches
  2. Airway obstruction (tube or trach b/w 2nd/3rd tracheal rings)
  3. Aspiration
18
Q

Presence of fat in a periorbital laceration should mandate what examination

A

check globe carefully for laceration. Record visual acuity, presence of diplopia, pupillary reaction

19
Q

Marcus Gunn pupil implies what cranial nerve injury?

A

injury to optic nerve.

- paradoxical pupillary dilation when light is swung between the intact and injured eyes.

20
Q

Numbness in the infraorbital division of the trigeminal nerve is consistent with what fracture

A

fx of the orbit or zygoma.

21
Q

Course of the infraorbital nerve

A

proximal two-thirds of orbit, the nerve is in a groove, dital third it in a canal which exits the maxillar 10mm below the infraorbital rim parallel to the lateral margin of the cornea in a straigt gaze.
Branches innervate anterior incisor, cuspid teeth, upper lip, ipsilateral nose, skin of medial cheek

22
Q

Cervical spine fx accompany what maxillofacial injury?

A

maxillofacial soft tissue or bony injuries (frontal and mandibular fx).

23
Q

Panorex is likely to miss fractures in the mandibular region of ___

A

symphysis-parasymphysis region

24
Q

Split palate and alveolar fracture have what symptoms in contract with a LeFort fracture

A

P/A - have mucosal and palatal lacerations. lateral mobility of the maxillary dentition
Both - nasal bleeding, numbness in teeth
LeFort - mobile maxilla but segments of dental arch are not mobile - moves all in one piece.

25
Q

Which nasoethmoidal fractures do not display telecanthus?

A

Type I -

26
Q

CSF detection methods

A
  1. double halo test
  2. beta transferrin
  3. glucose in CSF
  4. dye in spinal fluid via LP
  5. dye in fistula
27
Q

Subcondylar fractures of the mandible generally present with what occlusal disturbance

A

contralateral anterior openbite, premature contact on the ipsilateral side

28
Q

Untreated Le Fort II & III fractures present with what symptoms and are characteristically found at what level

A

bilateral eyelid ecchymosis, bilateral infraorbital nerve numbness, bilateral nasal bleeding, facial swelling, malocclusion, anterior openbite; donkey facies

29
Q

What is donkey facies?

A

maxillary, zygomatic, nasal retrusion, increased length of middle third of the facial region. Face is overall flattened and elongated.

30
Q

incomplete or greenstick LeFort fractures present with what symptoms and are found at what level

A

minimal signs of facial injury - slight displacements and can be missed on imaging. can be treated with archbars and traction elastics for 3weeks. If fx is missed, LeFort I osteotomy is required electively

31
Q

what is the difference between enophthalmos and ocular dystopia

A

enophthalmos = posterior displacement of the globe (1cc increase of orbital volume = 1mm displacement of globe)
Ocular dystopia = inferior displacement of globe

32
Q

how are injuries of the parotid duct detected

A

lacerations in the vicinity of the duct, buccal branch facial nerve weakness

33
Q

Innervation of buccal branch of the facial nerve

A

Muscle Action

Risorius Smirk
Buccinator Aids chewing by holding cheeks flat
Levator Labii Superioris Elevates upper lip
Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle Snarl
Levator Anguli Oris Soft smile
Nasalis Flare Nostrils
Orbicularis oris muscle Purse Lips

34
Q

5 branches of the facial nerve

A

temporal, zygomatic, maxillary, buccal, marginal mandibular

35
Q

Pitanguy’s line

A

0.5cm inferior to tragus to 1.5 cm lateral to brow

36
Q

innervation of temporal branch of facial nerve

A

crosses the zygomatic arch to the temporal region, supplying the auriculares anterior and superior, and joining with the zygomaticotemporal branch of the maxillary nerve, and with the auriculotemporal branch of the mandibular nerve.
The more anterior branches supply the frontalis, the orbicularis oculi, and corrugator supercilii, and join the supraorbital and lacrimal branches of the ophthalmic. The temporal branch acts as the efferent limb of the corneal reflex.

37
Q

Clinical signs of an anterior cranial fossa fracture

A

forehead bruise/lac
spectacle hematoma
disturbance of olfaction and CSF leak

38
Q

numbness of the lower lip accompanies what type of mandibular fx

A

injury to the inferior alveolar nerve - fx of the angle and body regio

39
Q

3D CTs are indicated for

A

fx of zygoma or mandible

40
Q

subluxation of the condylar head anterior to the glenoid fossa produces

A

locked jaw. Reduce by relaxing muscle, then providing pressure to posterior maxillary dentition
