Abstract
Background: Zygomatic arch 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.
Case Presentation: This case report present an left sided isolated zygomatic arch fracture after subjected to routine investigations and radiographs like submentovertex and CT scans. The patients was operated under general anaesthesia for the reduction of zygomatic arch by Gille’s temporal approach with the use of Ultrasound intraoperatively.
Conclusion. Recommendation for the use of ultrasonography in the identification of zygomatic arch fractures intraoperatively operatively
