Computerized Tomogram is relatively new diagnostic technique,which relies on computer technology and application of wide operative and reconstructive algorithms to view areas of interest from multiple planes.(axial,coronal,sagittal,and obligue)
C-T has changed neurological,neurosurgical and radiological practice beyond recognition.This paper tries to demonstrate the diagnostic possiblity and limitation of C-T in facial skeletal lesion of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.Clinical application at our institution has been used C-T in preoperative evaluation of orbital blow-out fracture,multiple facial bone fracture,and congenital mid-facial anomalies respectively.
The result was summarized as follows,
1)In facial bone fracture,especially involving naso-obital-ethmodual complex area C-T was more useful to accurate evaluation for the nature and degree of soft and hard tissie than other classical radiological technique.
2)C-T was exclusively valuable in preoperative diagnosis and surgical plaining of congenital mid-facial anomaly because of good visualization of skeletal anomalies and soft tissie structure.
