The zygomatic bone provides prominence to the cheek which leads to its increased chances of fracture and the infraorbital nerve is often involved in the trauma to the zygomatic complex resulting in the sensory disturbance of the area innervated by it. The aim of the study was to evaluate the persistent sensory disturbances of the infraorbital nerve after recovery from isolated zygomatic complex fracture. The patients was evaluated for sensory disturbances in infraorbital nerve by performing two tests that included Pin prick test and Electrical detection threshold test. The results suggested that neurosensory disturbance in infraorbital nerve was present in the patients with zygomatic complex fracture. At one month postoperatively some sensory deficit was present on the affected side. After six months the patient showed near to normal improvement comparable to normal side. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
