Seven cases of severe maxillo-facial injuries treated over a four month period with problems in diagnosis and management are discussed. The conclusions are summerized as follows: 1. In cases with blowout fractures, antral balloon technic was effective. 2. In cases with foreign bodies in face, the sooner the treatment was undergone, the better the prognosis. 3. A CT scan coupled with orthognatic pantomography was indipensable in detecting not only intracranial lesion but fracture lines. 4. The otolaryngologist should be included, along with the neurosurgeon, ophthalmologist, plastic surgeon and dentist, in managing maxillo-facial injuries.
