Abstract
Comminuted ZMC fractures had been reported to be associated with a signficantly higher incidence of visual sequelae than other forms of midfacial injury. A 10% incidence of major or blinding injuries and a 6% incidence of traumatic optic neuropathy are significant, and warrants a prompt ophthalmologic examination of all patients with ZMC fractures as quickly as possible, and always preoperatively in injuries necessitating surgical repair.
