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 subclassied into three types (Markowitz and Manson classication) 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 diculties.

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).

227Chapter 17 Imaging in Sinonasal Trauma
Nasal Bone Fractures
ese are the commonest facial fractures, as nasal bone is thin and supercially located.
Mechanism of injury may be an anterior or lateral blunt force.
Classication (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 conrm 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 aects 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 aected 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 opacied 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.
