INTRODUCTION: Asian faces generally are wider and flatter than Caucasian’s. So, facial bone contouring procedures, which are malar and mandibular angle reduction surgeries, are particularly popular in Asia. After that, one of the potential consequences is soft tissue drooping in cheek or jowl.1, 2Patient with soft tissue drooping looks old and gloomy. Even though it has been increasing in popul...

A case of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) presenting after surgery for facial trauma associated with multiple facial bone fractures is described. With regard to the oral and maxillofacial region, DIC has been described in the literature following head trauma, infection, and metastatic disease. Until now, only 5 reports have described DIC after surgery for facial injury. DIC seconda...

OBJECTIVE this study was aimed at characterizing the craniofacial structures, i.e. the facial skeleton, cranial base, dentition, pharyngeal airway space, and the hyoid bone position, in healthy preschool children without sleep-related breathing disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS from lateral cephalometric radiographs taken of 92 children for diagnostic purposes, 45 were selected for the present ...

A single-photon emission tomographic system was used to study the normal anatomy of the facial bones and the usefulness of emission computed tomography in evaluating diseases of the bones of the face. The examination was performed following routine bone scintigraphy and took an additional 20-30 min. The anatomy of the facial bones was well defined, with clear separation of deep and superficial ...

CONCLUSION When patients with recurrent facial paralysis are encountered, otolaryngologists should check for fissured tongue, and question those patients about orofacial edema, minor symptoms, and family history. Histologic evidence is not necessary for the diagnosis of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS), while coronary high-resolution CT (HRCT) reconstruction of temporal bone and food allerge...

Background: Surgical treatment and complications of patients with zygomatic bone fractures can lead to a significant degree of tissue trauma resulting in common postoperative symptoms and types of pain, facial swelling and functional impairment. Beneficial effects of local cold treatment on postoperative swelling, edema, pain, inflammation, haemorrhage as well as the reduction of metabolism, bl...

We hypothesized that head computed tomography (CT) is an accurate screening tool for detecting nonnasal midfacial fractures in trauma patients. We retrospectively reviewed charts and official readings for all patients who underwent both head and facial CT scans for trauma at our trauma center between August 2002 and April 2003. The ability of head CT to diagnose nonnasal bone midfacial fracture...

The primitive neuroectodermal tumor (NEDT) was first described in 1973 by Hart and Earle in order to characterize an undifferentiated neoplasia of the central nervous system, which represents between 90 and 95% of undifferentiated cells and does not fulfill diagnostic criteria for any other type of neoplasia. The peripheral NEDT on the head and neck is extremely rare, and in a recent literature...

The form in frontal view of the recent human facial skeleton, including the frontal bone, was simulated under the condition of uniform strength to cope with the forces in the chewing action, by using the two-dimensional frame model made of members with step-wise variable cross-sections and by using the finite element analysis method. The simulation, in which the condition was applied to the ele...
