| dc.description.abstract | Seven out of ten victims of trauma in many road traffic accidents are those with
facial trauma, who not only experience fractures but mostly also experience soft tissue
damage, including lacerations or bruising. Wounds on the face generally heal quickly
because of the excellent vascularization of the facial area. Therefore, it is necessary
to pay careful attention to the neatness and adaptation of the wound edges during
suturing, especially in the area of the nose, lip, and eyes. Panfacial fractures are
fractures that involve two of the three areas of the face: the frontal bone, midface, and
mandible. This method is a case presentation and some literature reviews of one
patient who presented with panfacial trauma to our hospital. This case underscores
the importance of prompt and comprehensive management of panfacial trauma,
involving a multidisciplinary approach. As a man in the 20–29 life decade, this patient
had a high risk of undergoing panfacial trauma in a road traffic accident. Early
recognition, stabilization, and specialized surgical intervention contribute to optimal
outcomes in this case. The extensive degloving with separated nasal cartilage of the
midface was managed by “inside out” sequencing. The high FISS score of this patient
is in line with the length of stay in the hospital. The outcome of this case in 3 months
was a sequelae of the right eye in the form of ptosis. The nasal and sense-of-smell
functions are normal. The results show that after one year of the correction, the patient
is feeling better about the appearance of the scar and ptosis correction. The quality of
life becomes better. | en_US |
