title: The role of angiography in facial trauma: a case report.
abstract: Angiography is a useful diagnostic tool in maxillofacial trauma. An important indication for its use is in establishing the proximity of foreign objects to the arterial supply to the head and neck. An unusual case of a deeply penetrating knife wound of the face is described to illustrate this point.
