The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings of maxillofacial fractures resulting from falls in the elderly. A prospective study was performed in 38 patients over 64 years of age with maxillofacial fractures resulting from falls underwent 64-MDCT. Maxillofacial fractures were classified into eight types: mandibular median, paramedian, angle, condylar, Le Fort (I-III), isolated anterior maxillary, isolated zygomatic arch and zygomaticomaxillary complex. Statistical analysis of the relationship between gender and maxillofacial fracture locations was performed using χ test with Fisherʼs exact test. A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The prevalence of male and female were 40.7% and 59.3% of condylar type (p=0.288), and 80.0% and 20.0% of zygomaticomaxillary complex type (p=0.170), respectively. In conclusion, regarding to elderly patients, the condylar type was considered more frequency in female with maxillofacial fractures resulting from falls, and the zygomaticomaxillary complex type was considered more frequency in male with those.
