Facial trauma
Facial, orbital, mandibular, and skull-base fractures are examined with detailed CT assessment of injury patterns and critical complications.

Description
Direct and indirect fracture signs frame the assessment of blowout injuries, globe and optic nerve risk, maxillary and mandibular patterns, and rare complex trauma. Further topics include retrobulbar haematoma, superior orbital fissure syndrome, inner-ear and carotid canal fractures, and carotid-cavernous fistula.
Learning Objectives
- Apply a systematic CT algorithm to detect and characterise facial fractures.
- Recognise orbital injury, entrapment, globe rupture, and threats to the optic nerve.
- Identify mandibular and skull-base fractures and associated vascular or neurological complications.
- Classify orbital, maxillary, nasal, alveolar, and mandibular fracture patterns.
- Recognise retrobulbar haematoma, carotid canal injury, and carotid-cavernous fistula.
