Abstract
|
|
|
Efficacy and Accuracy of CT in initial evaluation of the facial bone fracture was compared with the conventional radiographic studies in 36 patients.
The results are as follows;
1) CT provides more accurate information than plain x-rays in diagnosis of facial bone fracture.
① CT Showed the herniation of intraorbital soft tissue into the maxillary sinus and orbit floor fractures in blowout fractures.
② CT visualized the inijuries of intraorbital soft tissue in detail.(esp. EOM mm., Optic nerve)
③ Zygomatic bone fracture combined with fracture of the postero-lateral wall of the maxillary sinus was well visualized in CT findings.
2) CT provides a simple and accurate information of fractures of the facial bones in terms of location and extent of the injuries. By analysing CT information, it was possible to study injured portions of the facial bone in detail with a few, but special view of the conventional radiographic studies.
3) CT evaluation of facial bone frctures was possible without added risks in patients with suspected CNS injuries at the same time of CT evaluation of suspected brain trauma.
4) CT had definite advantage in diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in facial bone fractures.
