Isolated bilateral zygomatic arch fracture; an unusal case

ABSTRACT

Zygomatic fractures are the most common facial fractures or second in frequency after the nasal fractures. The high incidence of zygomatic fractures probably relates to its prominent position in the facial skeleton hence it is frequently exposed to fractures. This case report presents an isolated bilateral zygomatic arch fracture that was been reduced by Gille's temporal approach and stabilized using foley's balloon catheter. This study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and timely treatment to reduce the morbities
