CT is the modality of choice for evaluating maxillofacial trauma. In low-velocity injuries, detachment of the nasal septal cartilage from the vomer may accompany the fracture. Coronal reformat (b) shows additional fractures of the left nasal wall, medial orbital wall, infraorbital rim (arrow), hard palate (white arrowhead), and mandible (black arrowhead). The posterior perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer, nasal crest of maxilla, and nasal crest of the palatine bone form the bony nasal septum (, Nasal bone fractures are common and account for half of all facial fractures. There is yet no study in the literature measuring the morphometry of maxillary bone in NP. Axial computed tomography (CT) (a) shows bilateral, displaced nasal bone fractures (arrows). Type IIa injury is defined as a simple unilateral nondisplaced nasal bone fracture, and type IIb injury is simple bilateral nondisplaced fractures. We report a case of an . Evidence-Based Imaging and Prediction Rules: Who Should Get Imaging for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury? Axial computed tomography (CT) (a) showing fracture involving medial canthal tendon attachment site (, Self-inflicted gunshot wound with type III naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fracture. difficulty in breathing through one or both nasal passages). Nasal injuries are classified by the energy and direction of the impact force. The body is hollowed out and contains the maxillary sinus. In the third month both parts fuse around the area of the alveolar process after which the premaxilla becomes the anterior part of the maxilla. Bordered by several other bones of the viscerocranium, the maxilla on one side pairs with the corresponding bone on the opposite side via the intermaxillary suture. Fusion (apparent) of uncinate process to the ethmoid floor. 7. Clinical consequences include telecanthus, enophthalmos, ptosis, and lacrimal system obstruction. The infraorbital foramen is located underneath the orbital ridge and serves as a pathway for the infraorbital nerve and vessels. The anterior nasal septum is cartilaginous. Fractures limited to the stronger nasolacrimal fossa were less common than injuries combined with the fragile nasolacrimal canal. Color Atlas of Anatomy. Angioembolization may be required when packing fails, typically from bleeding maxillary and palatine arteries in association with midface fractures and in penetrating trauma with vascular injury. It is the second-largest facial bone. Since the maxilla becomes smaller it seems to come 'forward' in elderly people. Alexandra Sieroslawska MD 5. The cribriform plate and the medial floor of the anterior cranial fossa define its superior margin and separate the NOE region from the dura, CSF, and brain. Superomedially it is in close contact with the anterior ethmoidal sinuses. [1] The anterior nasal spine is the projection formed by the fusion of the two maxillary bones at the intermaxillary suture. Case study, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 18 Apr 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-46138. The maxillary sinuses are located under the eyes; the frontal sinuses are above the eyes; the ethmoidal sinuses are between the eyes and the sphenoidal sinuses are behind the eyes. The nasal septum consists of three parts: (1) the cartilaginous septum (quadrangular cartilage), anteriorly; (2) the bony septum posteriorly, which comprises two bones (the upper one is the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid and the lower one is the vomer); (3) the membranousseptum, which is the smallest and the most caudal part, is located Type 4 injuries include varying degrees of orbital detachment and displacement; whereas type 5 injuries are associated with significant bone destruction or loss, potentially complicating reconstructive strategies. Manson et al. ADVERTISEMENT: Radiopaedia is free thanks to our supporters and advertisers. Radiographs- Waters' sinus views 30, 45 degrees (The classic "tear drop" sign may be present if the orbital soft tissues have herniated through the floor into the maxillary antrum) A CT scan with fine-cut axial and coronal views, provides the best radiological assessment of orbital wall fractures (fig.3) The middle and lower thirds are composed of the upper lateral and lower alar cartilages, respectively. Injury to the medial canthal tendon is inferred from the comminution and displacement of fragments. Treatment modality depends on the fracture type and severity, as well as the presence of nasal deformity.22. (a) Type I demonstrates large central fragment. Semin Ultrasound CT MR. 2011 Feb;32(1):2-13. doi: 10.1053/j.sult.2010.10.009. Associated nasal septal fracture is evident on axial CT (b) and coronal reformat (c) (arrowheads). Lateral impact injuries are the most common type of nasal injury leading to fracture.Intimate partner violence should be considered in patients where the clinical details do not match the fracture, or the injury occurs in an intimate setting 7. The 3D images allow easy visualization of the degree of fracture comminution and displacement, aid in localizing displaced fracture fragments, and allow evaluation of complex facial fractures in multiple planes.15 3D images are helpful for planning fracture fixation and operative reconstruction by surgeons16,17 and provide an overall big picture as to the extent of facial injuries. A CT examination showed an expansile cystic process involving the root of the second right maxillary molar (17 tooth), occupying almost the entire right maxillary sinus, eroding the cortex of its inferior wall. (2012) ISBN:1608319113. Damage to the medial canthal tendon can be inferred on imaging, however, by the degree of comminution and displacement of the central fragment ( Fig. In fact, one study found that using a combination of axial images, multiplanar reconstructions, and 3D volume-rendered reformats was more accurate than using either axial images alone or axial images with multiplanar reconstructions.15 Evaluation of all three sets of images yielded a sensitivity of 95.8% and specificity of 99% for maxillofacial fractures.15. A radiolucency in this region with ill defined borders is regarded as a large incisive fossa. Nasal fractures are classified clinically by severity ( Table 10.1). The facial bones provide important protection for the brain and eyes. Zhang Lin, Wang Yeda, Li Baojiu, He Anwei, He Zhen, Fu Fei, Sun Donghui, Liu Jingyan, Qi Yang, & Qi Ji (2008). (c) Type III refers to marked comminution of central fragment and disruption of medial canthal tendon. Injuries to these vessels are common and may result in a rapidly expanding hematoma or profuse arterial bleeding. The most frequent sites are the calvaria and the vertebral column. It articulates with the following bones:frontal, ethmoid,nasal, zygomatic, lacrimal, middle nasal concha,inferior nasal concha, palatine, and vomer. At the time the article was created Yar Glick had no recorded disclosures. 3 public playlists include this case Related Radiopaedia articles Facial fractures 10.5Markowitz-Manson classification of naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fractures. Children, older people and people with poor oral hygiene are particularly affected. Type I naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fracture. Fig. Cranialization is also necessary for persistent CSF leak and involves the stripping of mucosa, obliteration of the nasofrontal duct, and removal of posterior table fragments (, TABLE 4.1 Classification of Naso-Orbital-Ethmoid Injuries, TABLE 4.2 Classification of Central Fragment (the Bone Bearing the Medial Canthal Ligament Insertion) Injury, and Incidence, TABLE 4.3 Associated Injuries in Frontal Sinus Fractures, Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window), Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window), Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window), Pelvis, Including Lower Urinary Tract Trauma, Harris & Harris' The Radiology of Emergency Medicine. Type 2 fractures are more severely comminuted and impacted through the interorbital space, shattering the nasomaxillary buttress (discussed with maxillary fractures subsequently), and surround the piriform aperture. A new approach to the treatment of nasal bone fracture: radiologic classification of nasal bone fractures and its clinical application. The nasolacrimal canal descends into the thinner nasal portion of the maxilla, terminating beneath the inferior turbinate (. 10.2). This buttress bifurcates at the zygoma and travels posteriorly along the zygomatic arch. Type II and type III injuries may not be distinguishable by imaging, as discussed later in this chapter. Moderate-energy injuries, the most common, demonstrate mild to marked displacement, whereas high energy is reserved for cases of severe fragmentation, displacement, and instability. Frontal sinus fractures account for 5% to 15% of all craniomaxillofacial fractures and result from anterior upper facial impact. Peak incidence is in the second to third decades, with. Frontal sinus fracture indicates high G-forces that propel the head and cervical spine into extension, often with severe associated intracranial injury and facial fractures. nasal process of the maxilla frontal sinus frontonasal suture nasomaxillary suture anterior nasal aperture ( pyriform fossa) squamous portion of the frontal bone orbital portion of the frontal bone agger nasi cell (anterior-most ethmoidal sinus) frontal crest perpendicular plate of the ethmoid concha bullosa foramen cecum nasolacrimal canal It is placed at the level of the nostrils, at the uppermost part of the philtrum. Due to the complex anatomy within this region and the proximity to vital structures, including the brain, early diagnosis and precise treatment planning are of paramount importance. Maxillary sinusitis is inflammation of the maxillary sinuses. Key structures D = Orbit, medial wall M = Nasal septum 5 = Maxilla, frontal process 15 = Maxilla bone/ hard palate 16 = Frontal sinus 17 = Mandible, body Coronal section 40. Side view. Nasal bone fractures, when isolated, are most commonly displaced fractures of one of the paired nasal bones. 2004;70 (7): 1315-20. Most of these cases can be managed with medications alone. Mulligan et al. Key structures F = Groove for infraorbital nerve G = Maxillary sinus, posterolateral wall 5 = Maxilla, frontal process 9 = Maxillary sinus 10 = Zygomatic arch 11 = Pterygoid bone 12 = Nasolacrimal duct 13 = Mandible, condyle Clear maxillary sinuses can almost rules out certain fractures such as ZMC, LeFort . The distal portions of the nasal bones are susceptible to fracture because of the broadness and thinness of the bone in this region. The CT scan reveals unilateral maxillary sinus hypoplasia and opacification, orbital expansion, lateralization of uncinate process. 10.1): The frontal bar extends along the thickened frontal bone of the inferior forehead at the supraorbital ridges between the frontozygomatic sutures. 10.4A 16-year-old boy was punched in the nose. Together with the palatine bone it forms the hard palate. The CT images are published with the permission of the Radiology Department, The Hospital of esk Budjovice, Czech Republic. Management of the medial canthal tendon in nasoethmoid orbital fractures: the importance of the central fragment in classification and treatment. Nasolacrimal injuries are anticipated with NOE fractures, but can occur in other injuries as well. The nasal bones are the most commonly fractured facial bones.19 Nasal fractures are commonly caused by motor-vehicle collisions, assaults, and sports-related injuries.20 The bony components of the nose include the nasal process of the frontal bone, the frontal processes of the maxilla, the ethmoid, the vomer, and the nasal bones ( Fig. Identification of Nasal Bone Fractures on Conventional Radiography and Facial CT: Comparison of the Diagnostic Accuracy in Different Imaging Modalities and Analysis of Interobserver Reliability. Subcutaneous emphysema within the masticator space, malar region, or orbits, along with pneumocephalus, may indicate a fracture involving the paranasal sinus walls. Surgeons are increasingly requesting intraoperative CT to assess the adequacy of facial fracture reduction and fixation during surgery, which allows for immediate revision and reduces the need for future revision procedures.18 Additionally, early complications such as graft malposition can be identified. Multidetector Computed Tomography Technique, At Bellevue Hospital, patients with direct facial injury and suspected maxillofacial fractures are scanned from the hyoid through the top of the frontal sinuses. J Craniofac Surg. It should be noted that cartilaginous injuries cannot be detected radiologically and that imaging of simple nasal bone fractures often adds little to patient management. Comminuted depressed fracture of the left anterior maxillary sinus wall and inferior orbital rim are also present (black arrow). ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. Pathologic Anatomy. From Markowitz BL, Manson PN, Sargent L, et al. Fractures are described as unilateral or bilateral, simple or comminuted, displaced or undisplaced, impacted or non- impacted, and with or without nasal septal involvement. Soft tissue algorithm CT (axial) (b), (coronal) (c) demonstrates hematoma of the nasal septum (arrowhead). nasal process of the maxilla Figure 11: 2mm coarse diamond drill used to remove bone from nasal process of maxilla As in choanal atresia repair, while dilating it is important to keep a Liston . 5 Coronal unenhanced CT scan of sinuses in 34-year-old woman with sinusitis shows bilateral pneumatization of hard palate (arrows), representing pneumatization from maxillary sinus into palatal process of maxilla. It is pyramidal shaped with the base being the medial surface facing the nasal cavity and the apex being elongated into the zygomatic process. J Oral Maxillofac Surg. Facial fracture complexes are classified by location and pattern: nasal, naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE), frontal sinus, orbital, zygomatic, maxillary, and mandibular. (Frontal process of maxilla visible at center.) The body of the maxilla is roughly pyramidal and has four surfaces that surround the maxillary sinus, the largest paranasal sinus: anterior, infratemporal (posterior), orbital and nasal. There are five horizontal buttresses of the face ( Fig. Fig. The alveolar process is an inferior extension of the maxilla with a rather porous structure. investigated the relationship between facial fractures, cervical spine injuries, and head injuries in 1.3 million trauma patients between 2002 and 2006. Medial canthal tendon denoted in green; fracture fragments in black. Type 3 fractures occur in conjunction with more extensive craniofacial injuries and reflect superolateral extension, including cribriform plate disruption with intracranial involvement and dural violation (superior extension), or LeFort II and III fractures (lateral extension). Axial CT demonstrates (a) ethmoidal grooves within the nasal bones (, Bilateral nasal fractures and nasal septal fracture. Symptomatic lacrimal obstruction (epiphora and dacryocystitis) has been reported in 0.2% of nasal fractures, 4% of LeFort II and III fractures, and 21% of NOE fractures. 4). Check for errors and try again. The Anatomy of the Nasal Bone. Am Fam Physician. Associated cribriform plate fracture may result in anosmia, CSF leak, and pneumocephalus (, The nasolacrimal fossa and canal make up the bony lacrimal excretory system. Markowitz-Manson classification of naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fractures. Cole et al., in a study of 247 victims of facial gunshot wounds, found associated cervical spine injury in 8% and head injury in 17%. All content published on Kenhub is reviewed by medical and anatomy experts. An osteotomy performed during septal reconstruction and rhinotomy typically passes through the nasal process of the maxilla; however, an osteotomy extending more posteriorly could enter and destabilize the maxillary sinus. Sinusitis is an inflammatory condition associated with bacterial, viral, or fungal infections of the cavities around the nasal passages or allergic reactions affecting the paranasal sinuses. Han DS, Han YS, Park JH. elevators, retractors and evertors of the upper lip, depressors, retractors and evertors of the lower lip, embryological development of the head and neck. Coronal and sagittal reformats can then be reconstructed at 0.5- to 1-mm intervals. The anterior nasal spine, or anterior nasal spine of maxilla, is a bony projection in the skull that serves as a cephalometric landmark. Facial buttress anatomy. Brant WE, Helms C. Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology. Canal fractures are mostly comminuted (, Frontal sinus anatomy is variable10% have a unilateral sinus, 5% a rudimentary sinus, and 4% have no sinus (. Adjacent locules suggest it is an open fracture. 8. 2. Get instant access to this gallery, plus: Introduction to the musculoskeletal system, Nerves, vessels and lymphatics of the abdomen, Nerves, vessels and lymphatics of the pelvis, Infratemporal region and pterygopalatine fossa, Meninges, ventricular system and subarachnoid space. Volume reformations from helical and MDCT datasets enhance diagnostic accuracy and allow the surgeon to better plan operative repair by depicting complex injuries in three dimensions. Nasal fractures may be treated conservatively or with closed or open reduction. This chapter discusses the causes of maxillofacial injuries, the major patterns of facial fractures, and current imaging practices concerning maxillofacial trauma. Type 1 fractures detach the frontal process of maxilla, displacing the fragments posteriorly and laterally without severe comminution. Nasal bone fracture. Fig. If the alignment is essentially anatomical then no treatment is required. This fracture pattern usually also involves the medial orbital walls and is referred to as an NOE fracture. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Knipe H, Anterior nasal spine fracture. Naso-ethmoid-orbital fractures: classification and role of primary bone grafting. Together with the palatine bone it forms the hard palate. (b) Type II refers to comminuted central fragment with fragments external to medial canthal tendon insertion. The orbital floor forms the roof, the alveolar process forms the inferior boundary and the lateral nasal . The maxillary sinus is bordered by three main walls: The roof - is a thin bony plate shared with the inferior wall of the orbit The floor - is composed by the alveolar process of the maxilla. Note that the maxilla may look like a single bone but is truly paired forming a delicate suture in the middle line known as the median palatine (or intermaxillary) suture. It also has four processes: zygomatic, frontal, alveolar, and palatine. They house the structures necessary for sight, smell, and taste. and grab your free ultimate anatomy study guide! 2011;69 (11): 2841-7. In this article, two cases with similar radiological findings are presented. As noted in the coronal (Figure 4) as well as axial views (Figure 5), the lateral nasal wall was involved but . Fracture fragment displacement and rotation are easily determined and fracture patterns may be readily classified and assessed for stability. 7 (2020): 2080-2097. Concomitant fractures of the nasal septum may occur in conjunction with nasal fractures ( Fig. The zygomaticomaxillary or lateral maxillary buttress extends from the lateral maxillary alveolar process over the zygoma and includes the lateral orbital wall. Lastly, the face is the portal to the outside world and is the organ of social interaction. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Radswiki T, El-Feky M, Niknejad M, et al. Considerable expansion of the buccal and moderate expansion of the palatal cortical plate was evident. This is an essential step in the process and is necessary for an accurate diagnosis. Check for errors and try again. The 6.7% of facial fracture patients had concomitant cervical spine injury, and 61.8% had associated head injury. Treatment. At the time the case was submitted for publication Craig Hacking had no recorded disclosures. Check for errors and try again. For example, the nose, mandibular body, and zygoma are typically injured in assault because of their prominent positions on the face and the relatively small amount of energy transferred in a strike or a punch. Jayson L. Benjert, Kathleen R. Fink, and Yoshimi Anzai, Maxillofacial trauma represents a significant cause of morbidity and financial cost in the United States. In the setting of NOE fracture, this bony anchor is referred to as the central fragment and may be either intact or comminuted or fractured through the medial canthal ligament insertion site. Clinical manifestations include unilateral enophthalmos, ptosis, hypoglobus and vertical diplopia. Read more. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be a useful adjunct in patients with cranial nerve deficits not explained by CT, evaluation of incidentally discovered masses, and suspected vascular dissection. Posterior table injuries require sinus obliteration or cranialization to prevent mucocele or mucopyocele formation. Unger studied the CT appearance of nasolacrimal injuries in 25 patients and found that all nasolacrimal fractures were associated with other facial fractures. Coronal reformat (d) through the nasal bones showing frontonasal suture (arrowhead). Most of these involve the distal third because this represents the most prominent projection of the facial skeleton. 3D . Normal anatomy of the nasal bones on computed tomography (CT). studied injuries associated with major facial fractures in 1,020 patients and grouped them into high and low G-force mechanisms. Current multidetector CT scanners provide isometric voxel size with excellent spatial resolution of reformatted and 3D images. 4. Many complex classification systems for NOE fractures have been described. Blue arrow indicates location of fracture. Case study, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 18 Apr 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-62758. This buttress is not surgically accessible. Unable to process the form. Together, MVCs and assault account for more than 80% of all injuries and commonly involve young adult males and alcohol use. Orbicularis oris is subdivided into four quadrants (upper, lower, right and left). The first aim of the physician caring for a patient with acute facial trauma is to preserve life. (b) Type II refers to comminuted central fragment with fragments external to medial canthal tendon insertion. Advanced radiographic imaging using CT scans showed a mass of the left posterior maxilla extending into the maxillary sinus. The fossa originates in the medial orbital wall and is made up of the thick anterior lacrimal crest of the frontal process of the maxilla and the posterior lacrimal crest of the lacrimal bone. The facial skeleton provides the framework for the vital functions of ventilation, mastication, and phonation. Untreated nasal fractures account for a high percentage of rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedures. NOE injuries are frequently associated with other midface fractures and craniofacial injuries. Lateral force from assault is the most common mechanism and causes contralateral displacement of the nasal bones and frontal processes of the maxilla. With current technology, scanning of the head, face, and cervical spine may be acquired as a single acquisition and no longer requires patient repositioning for direct coronal plane imaging. In adults, the maxillary sinuses are most commonly affected with acute and chronic sinusitis. The key anatomic structure within the NOE region is the central fragment of the medial orbital rim, into which the medial canthal tendon inserts. It is specifically located in the mid face, forms the upper jaw, separates the nasal and oral cavities, and contains the maxillary sinuses (located on each side of the nose. The use of 3D reconstructions in maxillofacial trauma has steadily increased as multidetector row CT technology has advanced. have proposed further categorizing each area by the energy of the injury, namely low, moderate, and high energy. Without the maxilla, we can neither eat properly nor speak clearly. Distinction from a nasopalatine duct cyst can be made clinically by aspiration. The maxilla consists of the body and its four projections: The body of the maxilla is the largest part of the bone and shaped like a pyramid. Dimitrios Mytilinaios MD, PhD Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 18 Apr 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-12964, Vertical lucent lines for anterior ethmoidal nerves, View Mostafa El-Feky's current disclosures, see full revision history and disclosures, Gustilo Anderson classification (compound fracture), Anderson and Montesano classification of occipital condyle fractures, Traynelis classification of atlanto-occipital dissociation, longitudinal versus transverse petrous temporal bone fracture, naso-orbitoethmoid (NOE) complex fracture, cervical spine fracture classification systems, AO classification of upper cervical injuries, subaxial cervical spine injury classification (SLIC), thoracolumbar spinal fracture classification systems, AO classification of thoracolumbar injuries, thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score (TLICS), Rockwood classification (acromioclavicular joint injury), Neer classification (proximal humeral fracture), AO classification (proximal humeral fracture), AO/OTA classification of distal humeral fractures, Milch classification (lateral humeral condyle fracture), Weiss classification (lateral humeral condyle fracture), Bado classification of Monteggia fracture-dislocations (radius-ulna), Mason classification (radial head fracture), Frykman classification (distal radial fracture), Hintermann classification (gamekeeper's thumb), Eaton classification (volar plate avulsion injury), Keifhaber-Stern classification (volar plate avulsion injury), Judet and Letournel classification (acetabular fracture), Harris classification (acetebular fracture), Young and Burgess classification of pelvic ring fractures, Pipkin classification (femoral head fracture), American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons classification (periprosthetic hip fracture), Cooke and Newman classification (periprosthetic hip fracture), Johansson classification (periprosthetic hip fracture), Vancouver classification (periprosthetic hip fracture), Winquist classification (femoral shaft fracture), Schatzker classification (tibial plateau fracture), AO classification of distal femur fractures, Lauge-Hansen classification (ankle injury), Danis-Weber classification (ankle fracture), Berndt and Harty classification (osteochondral lesions of the talus), Sanders CT classification (calcaneal fracture), Hawkins classification (talar neck fracture), anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) avulsion, anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture, posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture, avulsion fracture of the proximal 5th metatarsal, longitudinally-oriented fractures may be confused for the. . Even minor trauma can result in hemorrhage from Kiesselbachs plexus (, CT analysis aids operative management of severe nasal bone fractures and identifies associated facial soft tissue and bony injuries. The frontal process has a vertical ridge which constitutes the medial border of the orbit (anterior lacrimal crest). The lower transverse maxillary buttress is located centrally at the palatoalveolar complex and extends laterally and posteriorly along the maxilla. The maxilla consists of a central body and four processes, namely, the frontal, zygomatic, alveolar and palatine process.
