Abstract

Zygomaticomaxillary Complex (ZMC) Fracture is basically a very complicated fracture which affects the facial bones, orbit and maxilla. A close anatomical proximity of the Zygomaticomaxillary Complex to important structures such as Temporomandibular joint (TMJ), Eustachian tube and Facial nerve put concerns on general health of an ear. It is evident that, within two years of the injury, Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures are linked to a higher chance of acquiring ear-related conditions such as Peripheral Vertigo, Tinnitus, and Sudden Hearing Loss. There is also a higher chance of developing trigeminal neuralgia in people with zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. There should a comprehensive ear examinations and appropriate managements in patients having ZMC Fractures to reduce the impact on ear health. The goal of this article is to investigate the possibility of risk of ear-related illnesses following fractures to the zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC).
