  • Though some healing is apparent, pseudarthrosis exists at these sutures, indicating continued movement possibly during chewing. Multiple healed fractures exist within and around the left orbit, including a comminuted and depressed fracture to the maxilla (radiating from the lacrimal base to the infraorbital fissure), dislocation of the lacrimal at all sutures, a linear fracture to the left frontal process of the maxilla (radiating from the nasal to the lacrimal).

  • Blunt force trauma to the left zygomatic has resulted in diastatic fractures and posterolateral displacement at the zygomaticofrontal, zygomaticosphenoid, zygomaticomaxillary (malar and temporal surfaces) and zygomaticotemporal sutures.
