Ann Ib Postgrad Med 2012 Dec;10(2):40-7

Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, College of Health Science University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.

Objective: The study was to appraise the level of expertise in the management of Naso-Orbito-Ethmoid (NOE) fractures and to provide recommendation for necessary improvement in an African population.

Materials And Methods: A questionnaire was designed and electronically mailed to Nigerian Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons, Plastic and Reconstructive surgeons, and Ear, Nose and Throat surgeons to assess their perspectives and practices in the diagnosis and management of NOE fractures. Further administration of questionnaire was done at the AO (Association of Osteosynthesis) principle course in Lagos, January, 2010. Information generated were coded and processed with statistical package for Social Sciences version 15.0, Chicago Illinois, USA.

Results: The questionnaire was delivered to 214 surgeons, there were 112 respondents out of which 78 expressed no interest in the management of NOE fractures and 34 had interest and so completed the questionnaire. Diagnosis is largely based on plain radiographs; only 22 surgeons perform NOE trauma surgery, majority (63.9%) use existing laceration or more conservative approaches like Lynch or open sky incisions. Mini and micro-plates are employed by only 31.8% of the surgeons. Bone grafting is rarely performed but when required, the iliac crest is preferred. Repair of the nasolacrimal duct system is rarely done.

Conclusion: The management of NOE fractures in Nigeria, falls short of the current best evidence in the world literature. International collaboration for improvement is recommended.

Aesthetic Outcome of Primary Rhinoplasty of Saddle Nose Deformity in Naso-Orbital Ethmoidal Fractures in Asian Patients.

Authors:
Ting-Chen Lu Shadad M Mohammed Han-Tsung Liao

J Craniofac Surg 2022 Aug 11. Epub 2022 Aug 11.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Craniofacial Research Center, LinKou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan, Taiwan.

Background: Saddle nose deformity following naso-orbital ethmoidal (NOE) fractures remain a challenging problem for the reconstructive surgeon. Early reduction and internal fixation allow for fracture stabilization but is unable to address the problem of the depressed nasal dorsum, especially after soft tissue shrinkage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of primary rhinoplasty in patients with NOE fractures. Read More

Prophylactic Intraoperative Nasolacrimal Duct Intubation in Surgical Treatment of Facial Fractures-Is There a Role?

Authors:
Ryan Liang Wei Teoh Pei Yuan Fong Elijah Zhengyang Cai Yan Lin Yap Eileen Chor Hoong Hing Han Jing Lee Vigneswaran Nallathamby Wei Chen Ong Jane Lim Gangadhara Sundar Thiam Chye Lim

Arch Plast Surg 2022 Mar 6;49(2):195-199. Epub 2022 Apr 6.

Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore.

Nasolacrimal duct (NLD) damage is associated in the majority of type II and III naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fractures. Our study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic NLD intubation in the setting of facial fractures, by comparing incidence of postoperative epiphora and wound infection. A retrospective matched control study was conducted on all patients with surgically treated facial fractures from 2008 to 2013 (  = 280) (IRB ref number: DSRB 2013/01198). Read More

Global avulsion of the globe associated with frontal sinus and naso-orbital-ethmoid (FSNOE) complex fracture. A rare case report and short literature review.

Authors:
Florin Gligor Onisor Tent Paul Andrei Muresan Ovidiu Juncar Mihai

Ann Ital Chir 2022 Feb 28;11. Epub 2022 Feb 28.

Introduction: Post-traumatic avulsion of the globe is a rare and uncommon pathology with serious morpho-physiological, cosmetic and aesthetic implications. The association with complex fractures of the skull increases the morbidity and complexity of the case.

Case Report: We present a rare case of FSNOE complex fracture associated with avulsion of the left globe, with complete sectioning of the optic nerve and loss of vision. Read More

Emerg Radiol 2022 Jun 10;29(3):499-505. Epub 2022 Mar 10.

Division of Plastic Surgery, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI, USA.

Background: Clinicians who manage facial fractures often rely on radiologist interpretations to help with assessment and management. Among treating physicians, facial fractures are categorized into clinically relevant patterns of injury. On the other hand, while radiologists are unsurpassed at identifying individual breaks in the bone, larger fracture patterns are not always conveyed in radiology reports. Read More

Abstract: This study summarizes the process of digital-assisted multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) of naso-orbital-ethmoid (NOE) fractures and evaluates the treatment outcomes. From October 2018 to December 2020, 39 patients with NOE fractures were treated in our department, 21 of whom were diagnosed and treated by a multidisciplinary team. After preoperative multidisciplinary discussions and personalized virtual surgical planning, they received MDT with the assistance of a surgical navigation system. Read More
