  • A linear fracture originates at the left inferior orbital rim and radiates directly inferiorly for ~2cm from near the medialmost point of the zygomaticomaxillary suture to the base of the zygomatic process of the maxilla. The fracture is healed.

  • A patent right ethmoid and depression in the inferior ethmoid and orbital plate of the maxilla are indications of infection and possible cyst or abscess formation in the right orbit. Not shown is extensive bony evidence of infection of the frontal, parietal and intracranial surfaces that has likely resulted from the facial traumas described here.
