Abstract

Traumatske ozljede kostiju lica česta su patologija u području rada maksilofacijalne kirurgije. Za njihovo kvalitetno zbrinjavanje potrebno je postaviti dijagnozu brzo i točno kako bi se planirao nastavak liječenja. Područje lica specifično je područje tijela zbog toga što brojne strukture nisu dostupne fizikalnom pregledu zbog njihove lokalizacije u dubini građe viscerokranijuma. Također zbog brojnih pridruženih ozljeda mekog tkiva i nemogućnosti pouzdane palpacije, potrebne su dijagnostičke slikovne metode kako bi evaluirali stanje pacijenta. CT se ističe kao idealna metoda dijagnostike u ovakvih pacijenata. Snimanjem CT-a kliničar dobiva uvid u stanje svih struktura koje grade lice, u zbivanja unutar koštanih šupljina i postojanje frakturnih pukotina te dislokaciju fragmenata kod kominutivnih prijeloma. Bez CT-a velika većina prijeloma ne bi mogla biti prepoznata prije operacijskog zahvata, a neki bi ostali nezamijećeni. U današnje vrijeme ne postoji jednakovrijedna zamjena kompjutoriziranoj tomografiji te je apsolutno indicirana kod svakog pacijenta s maksilofacijalnom traumom.

Abstract (english)

Facial injuries are common in the practice of maxillofacial surgery. It is necessary to recognize the injury quickly and accurately so the patient could recieve the proper treatment. The facial area is unique and differs from other areas of the human body because many of its structures aren't available for physical examination due to their location in the viscerocranium. There is need for imaging techniques to evaluate the patient due to unreliable palpation and soft tissue injuries which can be misleading. CT stands out as an ideal diagnostic method in these patients. When CT is done, the clinician gets an inside look of all the facial structures such as bone cavities, presence of fracture lines and fragment dislocation in complicated fractures. Without the CT scan most of facial fractures would not be recognized before open surgery and some would even stay unnoticed. Nowadays there is no alternative good enough to replace the CT scan so it is absolutely indicated in any patient with maxillofacial trauma.
