Identify the indicated features of the radiograph
Identify the indicated features of the radiograph. How would you position a patient for this view? Why is this positioning done?
Head is extended backwards, so orbit is going up to ceilig, and temporal bones going inferior, so can see orbit and sinuses better
What are the 3 places to look for the type of Le Fort arch?
I: anterior lateral corner nasal apeture
II: inferior orbital rim
III: zygomatic arch
What fracture is showin in the image?
What are the 3 points of fracture?
Tripod Fracture
- zygomatic maxillary suture
- frontal zygomatic area
- zygomatico temporal suture
What type of fracture is shown in the image?
What is the the concerning feature indicated in the image on the bottom right?
Blow-out fracture
by definition, does not fracture orbit rim
blow to orbit, the eye globe makes its way posterior, so one of walls of orbit blows out
can be surgical emergncy
Lower Right: inferior rectus muscle is displaced
