Midface and zygomatic bone fractures are the most common occurring together in developing countries due to inadequate road traffic legislations while mandible fractures are common due to its most predominant position in face and also due to interpersonal conflicts/assaults. Neurosurgeons and oral & maxillofacial surgeons play a very vital role along with neurologists and ophthalmologists in managing a craniorofacial trauma patient.
