Department of Ophthalmology, Shyam Shah Medical College, Rewa, India.
Introduction: Maxillofacial injuries are usually associated with ophthalmic injuries that may be mild to severe, and may even result in loss of integrity of the orbital skeleton and impairment of the visual apparatus.
Aim: To evaluate the pattern of ophthalmic injuries associated with maxillofacial fractures in patients who reported to a tertiary care hospital, associated with a medical college in M.P, India.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery, Jagannath Gupta Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Budge Budge, Kolkata, West Bengal India.
Background: Most tertiary-care teaching institutes in low and middle-income nations lack dedicated oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) units in the emergency trauma centers. Consequently, most facial fractures need to be managed in the otolaryngology and head-neck surgery (ORL-HNS) setup.
Objectives: To present a study on a series of patients with facial fractures attending the emergency and outpatient departments of ORL-HNS in a tertiary-care teaching institute in India that lacked the facility of OMFS in its emergency trauma center.

Article Synopsis
- Road traffic accidents can cause severe eye injuries, potentially leading to blindness, with a focus on individuals involved in motorcycle accidents in Tamil Nadu, India.
- A study involving 67 accident victims revealed that most were middle-aged males who often rode without helmets and were frequently under the influence of alcohol.
- Key findings indicated that over half experienced compromised vision, while many suffered from orbital fractures and other significant eye injuries, highlighting a need for targeted public health interventions.
Effectiveness of a Structured Trauma Template in Improving Clinical Examination Accuracy in Maxillofacial Trauma: A Prospective Study.
Craniomaxillofac Trauma Reconstr
August 2024
Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
Article Synopsis
- The study was a prospective pre-post design aimed at improving the quality of documentation for maxillofacial trauma in the emergency department using a structured template.
- By evaluating 220 patients, it found an 18.95% improvement in record completeness when using the template, particularly in key areas like time of evaluation and ophthalmic assessments.
- The findings suggest that the structured template enhances thoroughness and accuracy in documenting injuries, leading to better clinical care and reduced risk of medical negligence.
Innovative Endovascular Management of Giant Superficial Temporal Artery Pseudoaneurysm Presented With Periorbital Ulcerative Mass.
J Craniofac Surg
October 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, Lenox Hill Hospital, Donald and Barbara Zucker, Hofstra.
Objective: Superficial temporal artery (STA) pseudoaneurysms, characterized by arterial wall defects leading to blood leakage into perivascular tissues, present as pulsatile edematous masses, often originating from trauma or iatrogenic causes. Although rare (<1% of vascular lesions), anticoagulation agent use may contribute to their increasing incidence.
Methods: Traditional surgical ligation and resection have been standard, but the advent of endovascular techniques offers minimally invasive alternatives that mitigate surgical risks, especially in patients with multiple medical comorbidities.
