Lacrimal gland involvement in zygomaticofrontal fracture sites
Injury to the lacrimal gland following fracture of the zygomatic complex is a rare occurrence. Recently, we have observed three cases of herniation of the lacrimal gland between the diastased frontal and zygomatic bone ends. We present these cases, postulate a mechanism for this phenomenon, and advo...
