Osteonecrosis of the mandible and the maxilla is known; however, aseptic necrosis of the maxilla after traumatic fracture is hardly reported. This case aims to help clinicians realize the need to closely follow up and treat such patients with trauma as it can lead to osteonecrosis of the bone and cause difficulty in daily activities. We have also carried out a thorough review of the literature to give a concise understanding of all disease processes that may lead to osteonecrosis of the maxilla. Such an article has not previously been published.
下颌骨和上颌骨的骨坏死是已知的;然而,创伤性骨折后上颌骨的无菌性坏死很少报道。本病例旨在帮助临床医生认识到需要密切随访和治疗此类创伤患者,因为这可能导致骨坏死,并导致日常生活活动困难。我们还对文献进行了全面回顾,以便简要了解可能导致上颌骨坏死的所有疾病过程。以前没有发表过这样的文章。
