Abstract

Patients who have numerous fractures affecting the midface, lower third, and upper third of the face are sometimes referred to as having pan facial fractures, and treating these situations is quite difficult. A surgeon operating in the maxillofacial region faces a slightly more complex scenario than one operating in any other part of the body because of the region's proximity to important features or senses, including visual function (diplopia), olfaction, respiration (airway management), chewing or mastication (occlusion), deglutition, and aesthetics. Persistent deformity results from the inability to immediately visualize and minimize all of the components of a pan face injury as well as from the shattered bones' poor stability. It is difficult to heal the pan face fractures according to a predetermined plan.Every case with this kind of fracture is different and calls for the surgeon's ability and knowledge to restore the pre-traumatic facial architecture and attractiveness. Most patients with pan facial trauma may still have some residual deformity after undergoing rigorous treatment, necessitating additional surgery for rectification. This case report provides a brief overview of the management and basic techniques utilized to lessen and treat a 74-year-old man's pan facial trauma.
