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
