Recurrent Auricular Keloid After Childbirth in a Patient With von Willebrand Disease.

The authors present a case of a 34-year-old female patient with von Willebrand disease who developed a recurrent right auricular keloid after childbirth. The patient had previously undergone surgical excision of the keloid in 2017, which led to the diagnosis of von Willebrand disease due to uncontrolled bleeding. After a successful pregnancy in 2023, the patient experienced keloid recurrence. Surgical excision and radiotherapy were performed in April 2023, followed by DDAVP administration to control postoperative bleeding. At 1-year follow-up, no recurrence was observed. This case highlights the potential impact of pregnancy on keloid recurrence and the challenges of managing keloids in patients with bleeding disorders.

How to Safely Use the Perforator-based Keystone Island Flap in the Scalp: Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Scalp With Local Invasion to Calvarium.

Scalp reconstruction has always been a challenging problem for even the most experienced surgeon to provide good aesthetic and functional results. This is mainly because the scalp is less mobile and tight, requiring a much larger dissection for the size of the original defect. We hypothesized that the omega variant perforator-based keystone island flap at the subgaleal plane provides a versatile and easily reproducible reconstructive option for scalp reconstruction after wide skin cancer excision. We reviewed all patients who underwent reconstruction with the keystone flap or its modification to repair scalp defects following wide resection of skin cancer in the scalp abutting calvarium from May 2021 to July 2023. We designed the flap width 50% wider than original keystone flap design first introduced by Dr. Behan. We reconstructed medium- to large-sized scalp defects ranging from 2×2 to 5×5 cm2 using an omega variant perforator-based keystone island flap. All patients were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes without complications. Keystone flaps are a versatile option for reconstructing the scalp after cancer resection. This strategy obviates the need for skin grafting, myocutaneous flap or free flap after cancer removal in the scalp.

Genome-wide association analyses using machine learning-based phenotyping reveal genetic architecture of occupational creativity and overlap with psychiatric disorders.

Creativity is known to be heritable and exhibits familial aggregation with psychiatric disorders; however, the complex nature of their relationship has not been well-established. In the present study, we demonstrate that using an expanded and validated machine learning (ML)-based phenotyping of occupational creativity (OC) can allow us to further understand the trait of creativity, which was previously difficult to define and study. We conducted the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) on OC with 241,736 participants from the UK Biobank and identified 25 lead variants that have not yet been reported and three candidate causal genes that were previously associated with educational attainment and psychiatric disorders. We found extensive genetic overlap between OC and psychiatric disorders with mixed effect direction through various post-GWAS analyses, including the bivariate causal mixture model. In addition, we discovered a strongly genetic correlation between our original GWAS and the GWAS adjusted for education years (rg = 0.95). Our GWAS analysis via ML-based phenotyping contributes to the understanding of the genetic architecture of creativity, which may inform genetic discovery and genetic prediction in human cognition and psychiatric disorders.

Is Gillies Temporal Incision Necessary to Successfully Reduce Zygomaticomaxillary Fracture Combined With Orbital Wall Fracture?

Gillies temporal approach has been widely used to reduce zygoma fractures. Traditionally, it is the preferred method to reduce the isolated zygomatic arch fracture. It can be combined with other approaches, such as subciliary and intraoral incisions for more complex zygomatic fractures, so-called tripod fractures. In this study, the author hypothesized that complex zygomaticomaxillary bone fracture reduction can successfully be achieved without Gillies temporal incision. The author retrospectively analyzed the medical records and 3D facial Computed Tomography (CT) scans of 80 patients who had orbitozygomaticomaxillary fractures that affected >3 sites among the frontozygomatic suture, zygomaticomaxillary buttress, zygomatic arch, and orbital walls from May 2021 to August 2023. A single surgeon performed all surgical operations. All fractures were reduced with 2 incisions, lower eyelid incisions (subciliary or subconjunctival) and intraoral incisions (gingivobuccal approach), within a week of the initial traumatic event. After sufficient exposure to fractured sites using 2 incisions, the author reduced the fracture with a bony hook at the inferior orbital rim, lateral wall, or Boise elevator at the intraoral incision. All cases were successfully corrected without any complications. In conclusion, the author can successfully reduce complex zygomaticomaxillary fracture combined with orbital wall fractures without temporal Gillies approach.

Mechanical Ptosis by Medial Upper Eyelid Fat Prolapse.

Common symptoms of medial fat pad prolapse may include a noticeable bulge in the inner corner of the upper eyelid, puffiness, and a tired or aged appearance. In some cases, this condition may contribute to mechanical ptosis. However, mechanical ptosis caused by medial upper eyelid fat prolapse has not been reported previously. The purpose of the current study is to report the author's experience of successful treatment of ptosis caused by medial upper eyelid fat prolapse in a 67-year-old woman. The patient complained of slowly aggravating asymmetric upper eyelids starting from 5 years ago. At the time of her visit, she had to use her left forehead to open her eyes, making her left eyebrow upwardly positioned. This condition might be related to medial upper eyelid fat prolapse-related mechanical ptosis. The author explored her left upper eyelid with a 9 mm height incision. The author found a substantial amount of medial fat herniation and levator aponeurosis tear. After fat pad removal, the author fixed the levator aponeurosis tear with nylon 6-0, and transdermal sutures were done. The patient was happy with esthetically pleasing results 2 months after the initial surgery. The author successfully treated this rare condition with basic principles, such as fat removal, levator aponeurosis repair, and transdermal sutures.

Efficacy of Immediate Postoperative Single Fractional 10 Gy Radiotherapy for Earlobe Keloids.

BACKGROUND: The ear is a common site for keloid formation, typically due to ear piercing or trauma. Auricular keloids are always difficult to treat and pose a challenging situation. The purpose of this study is to present our experience treating earlobe keloids through complete surgical excision followed by immediate postoperative single fraction 10 Gy radiation therapy either on the same day or the next day. METHODS: The authors retrospectively evaluated 48 patients with 71 earlobe keloids treated with complete surgical excision followed by single-fractional 10 Gy radiotherapy within 24 hours from May 2021 to December 2022. The outcome was reported with a recurrence-free rate and side effects. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 20.8 months. All patients tolerated the treatments well. The overall recurrence-free rate was 100%. There were only 2 grade III radiation dermatitis. There were no reports of second malignancies or severe complications. CONCLUSIONS: The authors have obtained excellent outcomes from treating earlobe keloids through complete excision followed by postoperative radiotherapy with a single fractional dose of 10 Gy on the same day or the next day.

Subdural Empyema from Streptococcus suis Infection, South Korea.

In Jeju Island, South Korea, a patient who consumed raw pig products had subdural empyema, which led to meningitis, sepsis, and status epilepticus. We identified Streptococcus suis from blood and the subdural empyema. This case illustrates the importance of considering dietary habits in similar clinical assessments to prevent misdiagnosis.

How to Reduce Inferomedial Orbital Wall Fracture Using a Navigation System: Tips and Pearls.

The orbit is a confined space with a defined bony structure. Bony protrusion into the ethmoid or maxillary sinuses by the blowout fracture can displace orbital tissues, including rectus muscles and adjacent fascial septae. Especially, reconstructing the orbit's floor and medial wall can be challenging when the inferomedial strut or posterior bony ledge is affected, leading to a loss of critical anatomic landmarks and support. Correctly positioning an implant in the precise anatomic location can be challenging. Recent updates to the navigation system have addressed this issue. Despite its early application, using a navigation system in these orbital fractures advances plastic surgeons in a way that has more confidence and accuracy in surgical planning. The video demonstrates how these 2 can be combined in an operating room. Intraoperatively, the authors check the superior, anterior, and posterior ends of the medial wall fracture and the posterior end of the floor fracture. A single orbital implant was trimmed and reshaped to match defect measurements. The implant placement was meticulously executed to repair the fracture while ensuring the inferior oblique muscle was not injured. After confirming the correct placement of the implant, it was secured to the inferior orbital rim using a single screw. Depending on the medial orbital wall fracture depth or degree of soft tissue herniation, the authors used an artificial dermal matrix or trimmed absorbable mesh plate to cover the uppermost part of the medial wall fracture to prevent postoperative enophthalmos. Finally, a forced duction test was performed. Our study shows that navigation-assisted inferomedial orbital wall reconstruction using materials readily available in the market is safe and effective.

Successful Reduction of Unilateral Zygoma Fracture Following Bilateral Malar Reduction Surgery.

Malar reduction surgery can increase its susceptibility to fractures in case of trauma. Patients who had malar reduction surgery and sustained a zygoma fracture pose unique challenges for treatment and management. This is a case of a 28-year-old female patient who presented with a unilateral zygoma fracture following bilateral malar reduction and augmentation rhinoplasty 6 years ago. Physical examination revealed a clicking sound when opening the mouth at the right zygomatic buttress and a depressed preauricular area, suggesting arch fracture. Computed tomography imaging demonstrated a loosened screw at the right zygomatic buttress and a depressed arch fracture. She wanted to remove all plates and treat her right fractured zygoma with absorbable materials. Through the bilateral intraoral incisions, the authors removed the plates and screws and reduced the depression with the Langenbeck elevator through the same right intraoral incision without fixation. The reduction was well-maintained without complications based on postoperative plain x-rays 1 month after surgery. She reported that the pain was mostly gone and that she did not hear any abnormal sounds when opening her mouth after the surgery. In this case, if the zygomaticomaxillary buttress is minimally displaced, but the zygomatic arch fracture is significantly depressed, the authors believe that fracture reduction with only an intraoral incision would be enough to achieve an optimal outcome. If the plates and screws used in the previous malar reduction are not well maintained, it may be necessary to remove them.

Outcomes of omega variant keystone flap in conjunction with single fraction radiotherapy for helical keloids: A comprehensive one-year follow-up study.

BACKGROUND: Achieving esthetically pleasing results for helical keloids can be challenging. This study aims to share the results of a treatment approach for helical keloids, which involves complete excision and reconstruction using an omega variant keystone flap, followed by a single fractional radiotherapy. METHODS: The current study is a retrospective review of 25 helical keloids in 21 patients from May 2021 to March 2023. All keloid cases were excised entirely. We covered the defect with an omega variant keystone flap followed by a single fraction of 9.5 or 10 Gy radiotherapy within 24 h after surgery. The mean follow-up period was 12 months. The primary outcome was recorded as recurrence versus non-recurrence. The secondary outcome was scores assessed by the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale. RESULTS: All 25 keloids in 21 patients completed the treatment protocol, with a follow-up interval of 12 months. Of these patients, 100% had successful treatment of their keloids without any keloid recurrence. The postoperative course was uneventful except for one case of early postoperative flap congestion, which was spontaneously healed without any interventions. Scores obtained from the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale showed that pain, itchiness, color, stiffness, thickness, irregularity, vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, and pliability significantly improved. (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We successfully reconstructed helical keloids using an omega variant keystone flap after keloid removal followed by 9.5 or 10 Gy single fractional radiotherapy without any keloid recurrence in one-year follow-ups.

A Triple Combination Therapy Using 2-mm Biopsy Punch for the Treatment of Multifocal Keloids.

BACKGROUND: Keloid treatment is challenging. The surgical approach can be divided into complete excision versus partial excision. OBJECTIVE: The current study aims to introduce our novel surgical approach of partial excision using a 2-mm punch biopsy device to treat refractory multifocal keloids in the trunk. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a case series of 30 patients with refractory multifocal keloids treated with a triple combination therapy consisting of a punch-assisted partial excision and intralesional triamcinolone injections followed by immediate single fractional electron beam radiotherapy within 8 hours, postoperatively. The follow-up period was 12 months. The primary outcome was recorded as recurrence versus nonrecurrence or aggravation versus remission . The secondary outcome was patient satisfaction as assessed by the POSAS. RESULTS: The recurrence or aggravation of keloid was not found without complications. Scores obtained from the POSAS patient scale showed that pain, itchiness, color, stiffness, thickness, and irregularity significantly improved. CONCLUSION: Our novel surgical approach using a 2-mm punch biopsy device effectively treats refractory multifocal keloids once considered intractable. Triple combination therapy of partial excision using a 2-mm punch biopsy device, intralesional triamcinolone injections, followed by immediate single fractional electron beam radiotherapy, is a safe, efficacious, and more convenient protocol to treat this condition.

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy of the spinal cord resembling conus and filum, with a coexisting sacral dimple.

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is a rare benign soft tissue lesion of infants and young children. It usually occurs within the first 2 years of life at the superficial layer of the axilla, trunk, upper arm, and external genitalia. FHI in the central nervous system (CNS) is extremely rare. So far, only two spinal cord FHI cases have been reported. We present a case of a 1-month-old girl who presented with a skin dimple in the coccygeal area. Her MRI showed a substantial intramedullary mass in the thoracolumbar area with a sacral soft tissue mass and a track between the skin lesion to the coccygeal tip. Her normal neurological status halted immediate surgical resection. A skin lesion biopsy was first performed, revealing limited information with no malignant cells. A short-term follow-up was performed until the intramedullary mass had enlarged on the 5-month follow-up MRI. Based on the frozen biopsy result of benign to low-grade spindle cell mesenchymal tumor, subtotal resection of the mass was done, minimizing damage to the functioning neural tissue. Both the skin lesion and the intramedullary mass were diagnosed as FHI. Postoperative 5.5-year follow-up MRI revealed minimal size change of the residual mass. Despite being diagnosed with a neurogenic bladder, the patient maintained her ability to void spontaneously, managed infrequent UTIs, and continued toilet training, all while demonstrating good mobility and no motor weakness. This case is unique because the lesion resembled the secondary neurulation structures, such as the conus and the filum, along with a related congenital anomaly of the dimple.

Survival and Malignant Transformation of Pineal Parenchymal Tumors: A 30-Year Retrospective Analysis in a Single-Institution.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to elucidate clinical features, therapeutic strategies, and prognosis of pineal parenchymal tumors (PPT) by analyzing a 30-year dataset of a single institution. METHODS: We reviewed data from 43 patients diagnosed with PPT at Seoul National University Hospital between 1990 and 2020. We performed survival analyses and assessed prognostic factors. RESULTS: The cohort included 10 patients with pineocytoma (PC), 13 with pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation (PPTID), and 20 with pineoblastoma (PB). Most patients presented with hydrocephalus at diagnosis. Most patients underwent an endoscopic third ventriculostomy and biopsy, with some undergoing additional resection after diagnosis confirmation. Radiotherapy was administered with a high prevalence of gamma knife radiosurgery for PC and PPTID, and craniospinal irradiation for PB. Chemotherapy was essential in the treatment of grade 3 PPTID and PB. The 5-year progression-free survival rates for PC, grade 2 PPTID, grade 3 PPTID, and PB were 100%, 83.3%, 0%, and 40%, respectively, and the 5-year overall survival rates were 100%, 100%, 40%, and 55%, respectively. High-grade tumor histology was associated with lower survival rates. Significant prognostic factors varied among tumor types, with World Health Organization (WHO) grade and leptomeningeal seeding (LMS) for PPTID, and the extent of resection and LMS for PB. Three patients experienced malignant transformations. CONCLUSION: This study underscores the prognostic significance of WHO grades in PPT. It is necessary to provide specific treatment according to tumor grade. Grade 3 PPTID showed a poor prognosis. Potential LMS and malignant transformations necessitate aggressive multimodal treatment and close-interval screening.

Myelomeningocele Defects Reconstruction With Various Types of keystone Flaps: An Algorithmic Approach Based on Defect Shape.

The keystone flap has become an established option that has been utilized recently to close significant myelomeningocele defects. Although the keystone flaps can be adapted to repair myelomeningocele defects of different sizes, the shape of the defect is also an essential factor to consider. In this study, the authors proposed an algorithmic approach for reconstructing significant meningomyelocele defects utilizing different types of keystone flaps based on the shape of the resulting defect. From September 2016 to March 2022, the authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 28 patients with meningomyelocele who underwent repair with the keystone flaps. The mean age was 28 days (3 days to 4.5 months). Twenty-one meningomyelocele defects were in the lumbosacral (75%) and 7 in the thoracolumbar regions (25%). The defect sizes ranged from 3.5×5 cm (area, 13.4 cm2) to 9×7 cm (area, 49.5 cm2), with an average of 26.2 cm2. Ten meningomyelocele defects were a vertically oriented oval shape, 16 defects were a transversely oriented oval shape, and 2 defects were circular. In addition, unilateral keystone flap was used in 7.1% of the patients (2 patients), bilateral keystone flap in 28.6% (8 patients), and rotation advancement keystone flaps in 64.3% (18 patients). According to these findings, an algorithm was created based on the defect shape. This algorithmic approach is used as a decision-making guide to select the correct type of keystone flaps to repair myelomeningocele according to the defect shape.

One-piece Craniofacial Bone Fracture Reduction With an Additional Single Osteotomy at the Zygomaticomaxillary Buttress: A Successful Reduction of Frontoorbitozygomaticomaxillary Fracture Associated With a Temporoparietal Bone Fracture.

A frontoorbitozygomaticomaxillary fracture, also known as a complex midface fracture or "quadripod fracture," is a type of facial fracture involving multiple midface region bones. This includes the frontal bone (forehead), orbitozygomatic complex (which includes the zygomatic bone or cheekbone and the orbital bones around the eye), and the maxillary bone (upper jaw). These complex midface fractures associated with temporoparietal bone fractures can occur in clinical practice. However, a single-piece fracture of these has not been reported before. This study reports a 44-year-old male patient with a significant frontoorbitozygomaticomaxillary fracture associated with a temporoparietal bone fracture combined with epidural hematoma at the superior aspect of unilateral frontoparietotemporal convexity. Surgical treatment was performed 3 weeks after the traumatic event. Despite craniotomy of the parietal bone fragment, the reduction was not possible. The facial bone reduction was finally achieved following an additional single osteotomy at the unilateral zygomaticomaxillary buttress. The follow-up CT scan taken immediately and 3 weeks postoperatively showed successful realignment of craniofacial bone fracture. In conclusion, a single-piece fracture of frontoorbitozygomaticomaxillary bone connected to a temporoparietal bone can require additional osteotomy to achieve successful outcomes in an acute setting.

Perfecting the Outcome of Nasal Bone Fracture in the Pediatric Population With a Navigation System.

BACKGROUND: The trend of using navigation systems for treating facial bone fractures is increasing. Nevertheless, any detailed recommendation on using a navigation system to treat nasal bone fracture has never been discussed. Plastic surgeons are prone to do closed reduction of nasal bone fractures with remnant posttraumatic edema in the pediatric population. This study hypothesized that the navigation system benefits this population's treatment of nasal bone fractures. METHODS: The authors evaluated the medical records, plain x-ray, and facial computed tomography scans of 44 pediatric patients (below the age of 18) with nasal bone fractures treated with a closed reduction from May 2021 to December 2022. Preoperative and postoperative computed tomography scan were used to assess the outcome. RESULTS: The average age for 44 pediatric nasal bone fracture patients was 10. Fifteen were female, while males were 29. All cases were successfully corrected clinically and radiologically without noticeable complications. CONCLUSIONS: Using navigation systems to correct nasal bone fractures provides additional benefits for the pediatric population. This technique is especially useful if the fracture is located at the junction between the nasal bone and nasal process of the maxilla and is combined with concurrent old nasal bone fractures.

How to Enhance the Success of Selective Neurectomy for Facial Synkinesis by Considering the Patient's Preferences: Lesson Learned from a Retrospective Analysis of 122 Cases.

BACKGROUND: Facial synkinesis can result in facial tightness, smile dysfunction, and eyelid aperture narrowing due to overactive and uncoordinated muscle activity. We hypothesized that the outcome of a selective neurectomy could rely on the patient's chief complaints. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 122 patients who underwent selective neurectomy at our hospital. Preoperatively, the patients were asked nine questionnaires to identify their two major chief complaints (treatment priorities). Postoperatively, facial tightness, limited mouth movement, and eyelid aperture narrowing were measured. RESULTS: The most common chief complaints in our series were facial tightness (n=38), eyelid narrowing (n=32), and limited mouth movement (n=28); the second most common chief complaints (second priority) were limited mouth movement (n=47), facial tightness (n=21), and eyelid narrowing (n=20). The mean score for facial tightness significantly improved from 4.3 to 1.1 in the first priority group. Among the 28 patients whose corners of the mouth constituted the top priority of surgical correction, the vertical inclination on the affected side significantly improved from 74.1 ± 7.6° to 55.5 ± 6.0°, and the horizontal angles were changed from 4.2 ± 2.7° to 2.0 ± 1.3° after selective neurectomy without statistically significant. Among the 32 patients for whom eyelid narrowing constituted the top priority, the mean eyelid narrowing score improved from 4.5 ± 1.1 to 1.5 ± 1.2. CONCLUSIONS: Selective neurectomy can provide a significantly satisfactory outcome regarding facial tightness and eyelid aperture narrowing. The vertical inclination of the mouth corner can be significantly improved, while the improvement of horizontal angles can be suboptimal.

The Usefulness of the Navigation System to Reconstruct Orbital Wall Fractures Involving Inferomedial Orbital Strut.

BACKGROUND: Little attention has been paid to combined orbital floor and medial wall fractures with the involvement of the inferomedial orbital strut. Managing this particular fracture can prove challenging. However, various innovative techniques have been introduced to assist with the process. Our study focuses on sharing our approach to orbital wall reconstruction using navigation guidance and titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates, specifically cases involving the inferomedial orbital strut. We believe that implementing a navigation system can effectively lead surgeons to the fracture site with utmost safety. Also, we hypothesized that this navigation system is beneficial to use singe fan titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates with orbital wall fractures involving IOS while minimizing possible complications. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 131 patients with medial orbital wall and orbital floor fractures with or without combined other facial bone fractures who underwent orbital wall reconstruction by a single surgeon from May 2021 to May 2023. Amongst, we identified fourteen orbital wall fractures involving the inferomedial orbital strut. We used a subciliary incision as the only approach method for performing titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates for navigation-guided orbital wall reconstruction. Patients were followed up for at least three months. RESULTS: All cases were effectively resolved using titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates. There were no complications during the patient's complete recovery, confirmed clinically and radiologically. Based on the serial CT results, it was discovered that implanted titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates successfully covered the defect. CONCLUSION: Based on our retrospective analysis, it has been determined that among the 131 recorded cases of orbital fractures, 14 of them (or 10.7%) involved the inferomedial orbital strut. Navigation-guided reduction using titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene (TR-PPE) plates can lead to predictable, reliable, and excellent outcomes for treating orbital fractures involving the inferomedial orbital strut without complications.

Orbitalization of Ethmoidal Sinus With Stacked Cross-linked Acellular Dermal Matrix: A New Strategy to Reconstruct Medial Orbital Wall Fracture.

BACKGROUND: The use of an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has not been reported in medial orbital wall fracture reconstruction previously. This study aimed to share our early experience with the cross-linked ADM as an allograft material for medial orbital wall reconstruction. METHODS: In this study, the author evaluated the medical records and serial facial computed tomography scans of 27 patients with pure medial orbital wall fractures reconstructed by a single surgeon between May 2021 and March 2023. The author routinely approached the medial orbital wall with a retrocaruncular incision. Five out of 27 patients were reconstructed with trimmed, multiple folded, 1.0-mm-thick cross-linked ADM (MegaDerm; L&C Bio, South Korea). RESULTS: All cases reconstructed with cross-linked ADM improved clinically and radiologically without complications. The serial computed tomography findings revealed that implanted cross-linked ADM successfully covered the defect while providing a significant volumizing effect. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to show the efficacy of cross-linked ADM for orbital medial wall fracture reconstruction. Our strategy of orbitalization of ethmoidal sinus with stacked cross-linked ADM would be an excellent surgical option.

Spontaneous Repositioning of Significant Blow-out Orbital Roof Fracture Associated With Intracranial Hematoma.

Orbital roof fractures are relatively rare facial bone fractures that usually occur in conjunction with other facial bone fractures or intracranial hematoma during high-velocity facial trauma. This study reports a patient with a significant blow-out orbital roof fracture combined with a nondisplaced frontal bone fracture and epidural hematoma at the superior aspect of unilateral frontoparietal convexity. Despite the severe superiorly-displaced fracture segment, the follow-up computed tomography scans taken 4 days after the injury showed a spontaneous reduction of blow-out orbital roof fracture. At the 1-week follow-up, the coronal image of craniofacial magnetic resonance imaging was taken, showing spontaneous realignment of orbital roof fracture and physiological evolution of cerebral contusion. In conclusion, conservative treatment can acquire the best outcome regarding cosmesis and function unless the patient requires an emergent operation for other medical conditions. This is key for successfully returning the patient's form and function.
