    Abstract:
    A 10-year review of 1693 maxillofacial injuries was presented with respect to age, sex, cause of injury, pattern of fracture, and associated systemic injuries. The majority of fractures in maxillofacial region were found in males, the most prevalent age ranged from 21 to 40 years. The leading cause of facial trauma was traffic accidents. Mandible fracture outranked zygomatic and maxillary fracture. Multiple fractures were more common than single fracture. The average number of fractures for each patient was 1.7. Accompanied injuries to brain and skull happened in almost half patients, which were more often than other part of the body. There was a higher incidence that midfacial fractures coincided with brain and skull damage.
