Facial trauma often presents itself in a high-energy polytraumatic context, with severe soft tissue lesions that limit physical examination of the bony structures underneath, thus making the diagnosis almost entirely dependent on urgent CT scan. Besides, facial fractures tend to be complex and, thus, a challenge to assess, classify and report for the Radiologist. Therefore, basic knowledge of facial anatomy, fracture types and potentially affected surrounding key structures is required to deliver an optimal radiology report.
