Abstract QS10: Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures Associated With Naso-orbito-ethmoid Fractures In Pediatric Patients: A 25-year Experience At The Johns Hopkins Children’S Center

摘要

Purpose: Naso-orbito-ethmoidal (NOE) fractures associated with ipsilateral ZMC fractures are more challenging injuries than ZMC fractures alone. However, there is a paucity of information on this complex fracture pattern in the pediatric population. Because of differences in the craniofacial skeleton between children and adults, it is important to characterize combined ZMC-NOE fractures in children specifically, especially given that this injury pattern in adults leads to poorer long-term outcomes. This study investigated the etiology, treatment, and outcomes of combined ZMC and NOE fractures versus isolated ZMC fractures in pediatric patients.
