The upper airway is significantly narrowed or obstructed.

There is bony injury or displacement of the body, angle, ramus, parasymphyseal region, alveolar ridge, and condylar and coronoid process of the mandible. [In case of fracture, describe complexity and displacement].

There is entrapment of the muscles of mastication or other soft tissues by fractures of the coronoid process and/or zygomatic arch.

The condylar head and fossa as well as the temporomandibular joint space are fractured and/or dislocated.

There is condylar fracture either within or outside of the joint capsule, or with or without involvement of the articular surface of the condylar head.

There is bony injury or displacement of the external auditory canal and/or other evidence of temporal bone injury.

There are dental fractures and/or missing or displaced teeth.

There is bony injury of the body, alveolar ridge, premaxilla, the infraorbital rim, the palatine or the frontal process of the maxillary bones on either side.

More specifically, there is bony injury of the medial wall or orbital floor, orbital - zygomatic complex and/or the fronto- naso-ethmoidal complex.

There is subperiosteal, epidural or subdural hematoma and/or pneumocephalus along the boney walls of the anterior or middle cranial fossa or elsewhere.

There is subarachnoid bleeding.

There is evidence of parenchymal brain injury .

The visualized portions of the cervical spine are abnormal for the patient’s age.
