Rationale: Complex fractures of the maxillofacial region can require staged interventions to achieve optimal outcomes. A significant example of this are complex fractures of the orbital floor, which may be difficult to restore during primary treatment. The secondary correction is often required which can be using stock- or customised implants.
Patient Concerns: A previously operated case of panfacial trauma presented with an aesthetic concern regarding the asymmetrical appearance of his eyes.
Diagnosis: On clinical and radiological evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with enophthalmos of the left eye secondary to orbital floor fracture.
Treatment: A patient-specific implant (PSI) was fabricated and placed for orbital floor reconstruction.
Outcomes: Postoperatively, aesthetic and functional outcomes were satisfactory.
Take-away Lessons: This case report highlights the use of PSIs in orbital floor reconstruction, made possible due to the advent of virtual surgical planning and three-dimensional printing in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Difficult airway management in oromaxillofacial tumor surgery poses significant challenges for anesthesiologists. We present two case reports of patients with mandibular malignant tumors and maxillary osteosarcoma who underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Preoperative assessment revealed a mass involving the right mandible, completely covering the inside of the mouth and invading the floor of the mouth in the first case, and a mass in the left maxilla extending to the zygomatic arch and orbital floor in the second case.

Massive epistaxis due to rupture of Intracranial Internal carotid artery (ICA) pseudoaneurysm is rarely encountered in Otolaryngology emergency but when it does, it requires immediate action. To provide an update on the approach toward diagnosis and management of patients with ruptured intracranial ICA pseudoaneurysm from an otolaryngologist perspective. The PubMed library was searched for previously published reviews, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses for intracranial ICA pseudoaneurysm, and a narrative review was formulated with a focus on Otolaryngology practice.
