| Popis: |
This case report presents a rare but significant complication of abducens nerve palsy following Maxillary Le Fort I osteotomy. The patient, who underwent the procedure for trans palatal distraction indication, experienced left-sided abducens nerve palsy, characterized by the inability to abduct the ipsilateral eye. Undesired fracture patterns can extend to neighbouring structures. The report discusses the management strategies employed and the outcome of this specific complication. By sharing this case, it aims to increase awareness of the potential risks associated with Maxillary Le Fort I osteotomy and provide insights for optimizing surgical outcomes and improving patient safety. |
