ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 35-year-old male patient who presented with a right zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture, which was five months old. It was associated with ectropion over the right eye. Diagnosis was made by clinical examination and confirmed by computed tomography, which included a three-dimensional reconstruction view. The patient was concerned about a projecting deformity over the right side of his face and blurring of vision. Surgical rationale of treatment was to easily access the surgical site for the correction of deformity and to achieve the desired facial contour and ectropion correction with uneventful postoperative healing. Deformity at the right zygomatic arch was exposed by a hemicoronal incision. Ectropion over the lower eyelid was addressed by performing Z-plasty. Outcomes were esthetically pleasing with no loss of motor and sensory functions loss. The patient was followed up for six months.
