ABSTRACT
Severe injury to the facial skeleton is a frequent finding in victims of trauma. Severe facial fractures produce a variety of radiographic and CT abnormalities that are not difficult to recognize if one carefully analyzes the images. This discussion covers a number of radiographic findings that are characteristic of several families of major injuries to the midface. The following types of injuries are discussed: orbital, zygomaticomaxillary complex, and LeFort.
