Abstract (English):	Introduction: Maxillofacial fractures account for 6 to 8% of bone fractures. The most common cause of maxillofacial fractures are motor vehicle accidents (90.5%), and secondly violence (2.71%) is well documented that cause, type and location of facial fractures varies according to geographic location, sex and age. Objective. Determine the most common cause of facial fractures in patients treated at the Department of Otolaryngology Central Military Hospital of Mexico, as well as the anatomical regions most affected by sex and age. Material and methods. A retrospective study of cases with a diagnosis of maxillofacial fractures treated between October 2002 and October 2006. Records were selected to include sex, age, fracture site and mechanism of trauma. Results. Of a total of 107 patients, 100 were male and 7 female. The average age that are most affected in men is 31 years and women is 32 years. The most common cause of maxillofacial fractures was the violence followed by vehicle accidents. The anatomical sites most commonly are fractured zygoma and the orbit in man and the jaw, maxilla and malar in women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
