Severe facial fractures due to airbag deployment without utilization of a seat belt: A case report

This report is about a man of 25 years old (175 cm, 90 kg) who sustained bilateral Le fort I, II, and III fractures because of an inflating car airbag. Despite the fact that airbags harshly reduce both the mortality and morbidity from crashes as intercept frontal collisions, but with increasing use of airbags, increasing number of injuries caused by these devices is inevitable.
