Abstract
First thing which strikes in the mind after coming across with post traumatic necrosis of maxilla that is it possible?
Looking back into literature we found only handful of incidences with traumatic maxillary necrosis. Osteonecrosis of the
mandible and the maxilla is known; however, aseptic necrosis of the maxilla after traumatic fracture is hardly reported.
Management of these cases can be quite cumbersome and require utmost care. We present a peculiar case report of post
traumatic necrosis of maxilla and partial maxillectomy. 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.
