Description

ABSTRACT: An unusual case of an isolated fracture of the coronoid mandibular process is presented. The fracture was randomly discovered after a panoramic radiograph was taken for surgical purposes. There were no clinical findings or symptoms by the patient. A careful review of the literature of fractures of the coronoid process is presented, since the isolated coronoid fracture is the rarest occurrence of all facial fractures. **********
