| Abstract | ||
| Trauma to the face is one of the common clinical problems that face the Iraqi peoples nowadays because of the critical security situations. Spiral Computed Tomography(CT) is an accurate diagnostic modality in the evaluation of maxillofacial injury. This study has been done on 25 patients sustaining maxillofacial trauma with 30 facial fractures examined with CT at Tikrit Teaching Hospital. Fracture lines, bony fragments and associated skeletal deformities were clearly identified by CT in all 25 patients, permitting the diagnosis of zygomatic, orbital, midfacial, nasal, orbital, ethmoidal, and mandibular fractures. In addition facial & orbital soft-tissues including the globe, optic nerve & extraoccular muscles were easily examined by adjusting the CT level & window setting. CT examination were also assist in planning the best operative approach for correction of residual deformities | ||
