ABSTRACT

FIGURE 3.1 Battered elder woman. (A) Shows a bruise on the right jaw at the site of a mental fracture. (B) Shows a large hematoma draining down from a left mandibular angle fracture. The flattened left cheek prominence suggests a possible left zygomatic or malar fracture, but this was not investigated. (C) Panoramic view defines the right mental fracture well (arrow). The left mandibular angle fracture was demonstrated on another film (not shown).
