Facial trauma, also called maxillofacial trauma, is any physical trauma to the face. Symptoms of such trauma are specific to the type of injury; for example, fractures may involve pain, swelling, loss of function, or changes in the shape of facial structures. Associated fractures, a very important point, if neglected may lead to serious complications even proving fatal. When in doubt get a consultation and additional radiographs and then proceed with the treatment protocol. The objective of this study was to determine the presence of associated injuries in cases of maxillofacial trauma.
