Background: Facial nerve injury (FNI) and unesthetic scar are distressing complications of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery. Insufficient evidence on whether a modified endaural incision can reduce FNI and serve as an aesthetic alternative is a concern.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative FNI and surgical scar cosmesis using modified endaural incision (Inviscision approach [IA]) and modified preauricular incision (Alkayat-Bramley approach [ABA]) in TMJ ankylosis.

- Orbital fractures in kids are uncommon, and a specific type called trapdoor fractures can cause serious complications without visible soft tissue damage.
- Delaying treatment for these fractures can lead to the dangerous oculocardiac reflex, which involves symptoms like nausea and decreased heart rate.
- The text presents three cases of orbital fractures, detailing two surgical interventions (one with a bone graft) and one patient managed conservatively, emphasizing the importance of timely treatment to avoid long-term issues like diplopia.
