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
