AB KEY  POINTSA  thorough  understanding  of  head  and  neck  anatomy  is  critical  in  identifying  the  true  extent  of  injuries  to  soft  tissue  and  underlying  viscera.Early  documentation  of  facial  nerve  function  is  critical  in  guiding  management  of  facial  nerve  injuries,  particularly  in  critically  ill  patients  in  whom  sedation  may  confound  later  examination.The  goal  of  bony  reconstruction  in  maxillofacial  trauma  is  to  restore  function,  structure,  and  symmetry.Long-term  follow-up  and  postoperative  imaging  are  often  required  to  confirm  correct  skeletal  repair  and  to  watch  for  skeletal  or  soft  tissue  complications  that  would  benefit  from  revision  surgery.
