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.
