Q

What is this:
wide variety of horizontal fractures of the maxilla, passing superior to the maxillary alveolar process (i.e superior to the roots of the upper teeth) crossing the bony nasal septum sometimes the pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone

A

15
Q

What is this:
Passes from the posterolateral parts of the maxillary sinuses and then superomedially through infraorbital structures, the lacrimal bones, the ethmoid bone, and up to the bridge of the nose. As a result, the entire
pyramidal-shaped central part of the face, including the hard palate and the maxillary alveolar processes, is separated from the rest of the cranium.

16
Q

What is this:
This is a severe horizontal fracture that passes through the superior parts of orbit and the ethmoid and nasal bones. It extends laterally through the greater wings of the sphenoid bone and the frontozygomatic sutures. Often, the zygomatic bones and the zygomatic arches are also fractured.
This is a complete cranio-facial
dysjunction.

Le Fort III fracture

Q

craniogacial dysjunction in le fort III fracture distorts (blank)

A

18
Q

The skull of a newborn is extremely thin and (blank)

A

pliable

19
Q

What are the three thin and pliable bones of the skull of the newborn?

A

frontal, parietal, occipital

20
Q

What are the three sutures of the newborn skull?

A

sagittal, coronal, lambdoid

21
Q

What are the 2 fontanels of the newborn skull?

A

anterior and posterior

22
Q

How can a babies skull fit through the birth canal?

A

the head becomes cone shaped cuz the halves of the frontal become flat, the occipital bone is drawn out and one parietal bone slightly overrides the other

23
Q

When does the baby’s calvaria (skull cap) return to normal?

A

a few days after birth

24
Q

At birth, the bones of the calvaria are smooth and (Blank). No diploe (spongy bone) is present.

A

unilaminar

25
Q

The resilience of the cranial bones of infants allows them resist forces that would produce fractures in adults. T or F

A

T

26
Q

What is the galea aponeurotica?

A

epicranial aponeurosis (tendinous sheet over calvaria)

27
Q

What are these:

caput succedaneum, subgaleal hemorrhage, cephalohematoma

A

extracranial hemmorrhage or edema in newborn

28
Q

What is a pial hemorrhage?

A

intracranial hemmorrhage

29
Q

Should we worry about a depressed (ping pong fractures) skull fracture in a newborn?

A

no

30
Q

What are the mumps?

A

epidemic parotitis

31
Q

What happens if you have obstruction or ascending infection going into the parotid gland (happens at the end of life)

A

parotitis

32
Q

What is this:
Composed of glandular and squamous epithelium,
connective tissue and mucoid
deposits; mostly benign; slow growing. Recurrences after removal.

Malignancy is highest in the
parotid gland.

A

mixed tumor of parotid gland

33
Q

What is this:
Adenocarcinoma; hard and fast growing; intense pain due to pressure on sensory nerves;
Infiltration and destruction of neighboring structures.

A

malignant tumors of parotid gland
