J Craniofac Surg. 2014 May;25(3):1111-2. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000000741.

Abstract

Isolated fractures of the zygomatic arch represent 5% to 14% of all zygomatic complex fractures. Bilateral isolated zygomatic arch fractures, which are defined as fractures of both zygomatic arches without any other facial fracture, are extremely rare. In this case report, we present a rare case of this facial fracture pattern.
