Daniel gets into a fight at a sports event and receives a broken nose. He is taken to the hospital and X-rays were performed with no evidence of fractures. About 10 days later, after his nose heals, he starts to have pain and discomfort in his nasal septum and in his right maxillary region. 1. What is probably the cause of Daniel’s discomfort in these areas? 2. In detail, how would you physically assess the affected areas in Daniel’s face using anatomical wording? 3. Using the facts learned about the anatomy of facial bones, paranasal sinuses, and the anatomical relationship between these structures, explain the sequence of events (step by step) that took place to develop the condition Daniel is suffering from now.

A 10-year-old female patient arrives in the emergency department after falling from a playground slide and injuring her head. She lost consciousness at the scene but is awake on arrival to the ED. She complains of nausea and left-sided headache but responds to verbal commands appropriately. The neurosurgeon is called in to examine the patient. During the examination, she loses consciousness again, becomes hypertensive and bradycardic. Her left pupil is now fixed and dilated. The surgeon calls the OR to set up for an emergency procedure.

A 42-year-old male patient is brought into the emergency room after being struck on the left side of the head with a board during a construction accident and knocked unconscious. When he recovers consciousness, he is able to hear but is no longer able to understand what is being said to him. From this, you suspect that he has experienced damage to the occipital lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, or prefrontal lobe.
