Since 1986 we used three dimensional CT for patients who possibly sustained fractures of the middle third of the facial skeleton.<BR>For the cases accompanied with brain injury, we usually first obtain a 5 rnm thick slice brain area CT, and then the middle third of the facial skeleton area CT with slice thickness of 1. 5mm.<BR>Until now only skilled surgeon could correctly visualize the fracture of the middle third of the facial skeleton which was composed of complicated thin bones, but with the 3D-CT image, every surgeon can visualize the fracture easily. Especially, the cut view method permits correct detection of the fracture of the skull base.<BR>Thus we could visualize fractures of the middle third of the facial skeleton preoperatively and could make the operative plan correctly and get good results.<BR>3D-CT imaging program was very useful for treating the middle third of the facial skeleton.
