Delayed or improper repair of nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures can lead to debilitating outcomes including diplopia, epiphora, nasal obstruction, facial asymmetry, and poor cosmesis. As such, NOE fractures should be repaired promptly and properly to prevent these unwanted sequelae. Treating patients with delayed, untreated, or inadequately reduced NOE fractures is challenging due to scarring and contracture. Saddle nose deformity, telecanthus, enophthalmos, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and soft-tissue scarring are often encountered in the secondary management of NOE fractures and should be addressed in the overall context of reestablishing facial symmetry and function.

Toddler's fractures are commonly encountered in pediatric healthcare. These injuries are associated with little to no risk of fracture displacement or failure to heal, regardless of treatment modality. The standard treatment for these injuries has historically been several weeks of weightbearing restriction and immobilization in a circumferential cast or posterior splint.

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.

Study Design: A retrospective study.
Objective: The Markowitz-Manson classification system categorizes nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures by severity of injury and remaining integrity of the medial canthal tendon. However, this system does not account for direction of bony displacement (in-fracture vs out-fracture), which can greatly affect symptomatology and management.
Secondary Reconstruction of Panfacial Fractures With Virtual Reality Surgical Planning Using Both Pre and Postreconstruction Scans.

Division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago.
Article Synopsis
- Late secondary reconstruction may be necessary for patients who had poor initial repairs of panfacial fractures, making it tough to see the original facial structure due to healing issues.
- Surgeons can use virtual reality (VR) combined with original CT scans to recreate an ideal facial structure and plan surgery accordingly.
- Two patients underwent successful surgeries using this method, with custom guides and implants to correct their facial deformities and achieve desired aesthetic results.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 16 studies involving 459 patients were analyzed, showing that the average patient age was about 30.6 years, with a male predominance. The most common treatment was operative intervention, specifically open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), used in over 90% of cases.
- * Despite surgical approaches, complications like nasolacrimal duct obstruction and postoperative issues remain prevalent, indicating that NOE fractures are challenging to treat effectively.
