Objective: Fractures in the face require approaches with predictable esthetic results, seeking access to minimize scars and to lower complication rates. Among the extraoral access to approach the infraorbital margin there are cutaneous accesses (subciliary, subtarsal and infraorbital) and Transconjunctival with some variations. The transconjuntivais access enable orbital floor display, infraorbital rim and medial orbital wall for placement of grafts, osteotomies and osteosynthesis, leaving imperceptible scars in the conjunctiva. The zygomatic complex is anatomically located in the midface and due to its anterior projection it is quite affected by trauma, and facial bone structure, after the nasal bones, more prone to fractures. Case Description: This paper discusses a clinical case on the transconjunctival access to orbitozygomatic fracture approach of a female patient JJC, 30, discussing their indications, techniques and complications. Conclusion: From the diagnosis, the recommended treatment was the transconjunctival access to approach orbitozygomatic fracture.
