Other Complex Fractures
Naso-orbitoethmoid Complex Fractures
■ ese are comminuted fractures, involving unilateral or bilateral maxillary buttresses which occur as a consequence of high impact force to the
nose.
■ ey involve nasal bones, nasal septum, medial orbital walls and
ethmoid sinuses. e nasoorbitoethmoid area is involved in this type of
injury (Fig. 17.9).
■ ese fractures are subclassied into three types (Markowitz and
Manson classication) based on whether medial canthal tendon is
involved or not.3 Medial canthal tendon cannot be directly visualized on
CT; however, when the fracture is comminuted, it is more likely to cause
avulsion of the tendon which inserts on the medial orbital wall.
■ Type 1: Single large NOE fragment bearing the medial canthal tendon
(Fig. 17.10).
■ Type 2: Comminuted NOE fragment, but medial canthal tendon remains
attached to one fragment.
■ Type 3: Comminuted fracture, medial canthal tendon is detached
(Figs. 17.11A and B).

Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures
■ Synonym: Tetrapod or quadripod fracture.
■ Mechanism of injury for these injuries is direct blow to malar eminence.
■ Zygomatic bone becomes dissociated from the rest of face or calvarium
(Figs. 17.12A and B).
■ Result in orbital complications and mastication diculties.

Fractures Involving Single Bone or Single Buttress
Frontal Sinus Fractures
■ Frontal sinus walls are thin and hence are often involved in injuries
involving the upper jaw region, and the anterior wall is frequently involved.
■ Posterior wall fractures are more ominous as these are associated with
cranial complications.
■ Inferomedially placed fractures result in obstruction of nasolacrimal
duct and impaired drainage (Figs. 17.13A and B).

wall fracture.
227Chapter 17 Imaging in Sinonasal Trauma
Nasal Bone Fractures
■ ese are the commonest facial fractures, as nasal bone is thin and
supercially located.
■ Mechanism of injury may be an anterior or lateral blunt force.
■ Classication (based on the anatomical plane): ese are divided into
three types:
• Type 1: Below the anterior nasal spine, septum not involved.
• Type 2: Septum and anterior nasal spine also involved.
• Type 3: Septum, orbital bone involved. Intracranial structures may be
involved.
■ Nasal septum injury may be associated with disruption of perichondrium
and hematoma formation. As a long-term sequelae, this can result in
ischemia, cartilage necrosis and septal perforation.
Imaging:
■ Plain radiographs are most frequently used.
• Low kVp settings and coned view are required (Fig. 17.14).
• Ancillary views such as axial view, lateral and Water’s view are
complementary to conrm diagnosis.

Section 4 Trauma228
• Radiological signs include a horizontal lucency with displaced or
overlapping fragments.
• Imaging pitfall: Nasomaxillary suture or nasociliary groove may be
mistaken for fracture (Figs. 17.15 and 17.16).
• Vertical lucent lines which are grooves for anterior ethmoidal nerves
can also be confused as fractures.
■ Computed tomography is more accurate than radiographs.
■ High resolution ultrasonography has also been advocated especially
in children.

fracture (arrow); (B) Bilateral nasal bone comminuted fracture.

Maxillary Sinus Fractures (Figs. 17.17A and B)
■ Isolated displaced or undisplaced fractures of the anterior and lateral
walls of the maxillary sinus may be seen in lesser degrees of trauma.
■ As the maxillary alveolar process constitutes the oor of the sinus, its
fractures involve the maxillary sinus too.
■ Similarly orbital trauma involving its oor aects the sinus.
■ Posterior maxillary fractures occur as part of the Le Fort fractures
involving pterygoid plates and even sphenoid sinus.

(B) Posterior maxillary fracture involving pterygoid tubercle (arrow) and pterygoid plates
(small arrows).
Orbital Blowout Fractures
■ Isolated fractures of the orbit result from direct blunt force received on
the globe. is causes outward displacement of its walls with resultant
increase in orbital volume and enophthalmos.
■ Most commonly aected wall is the inferior, followed by the medial wall.
■ e fractured inferior wall protrudes into the maxillary sinus along with
the orbital fat, with or without the inferior rectus muscle (Figs. 17.18A
and B).
■ Medial wall injury involves the adjoining ethmoid sinuses (Figs. 17.19A
and B).

COMPLICATIONS OF SINUS FRACTURES
■ In the acute phase, sinuses are opacied due to hemorrhage (hemosinus).
As the hemosinus resolves, residual soft tissue or mucosal thickening
remains.
■ Pneumocephalus (intracranial air) may result from sinus fractures of
ethmoid and frontal sinuses that violate the skull base.
Region-wise complications of these fractures are enlisted in Tables
17.4 and 17.5 and illustrative care.
