Reconstruction of the maxillofacial skeleton after traumatic injury is not always straightforward because of its three dimensional complex anatomy and aesthetic signifi cance. In case of zygomaticorbital injury induced by trauma resulting in enophthalmos, the patient is affected on both function and cosmesis. To prevent diplopia or conspicuous asymmetry, exact correction of the orbital symmetry is required. The aim of this case report is to demonstrate the use of an intraoperative image guided navigation system for identifi cation of adequate reconstruction of the orbital fl oor and orbital symmetry in zygomatic-orbital fracture. Navigation-guided open reduction of a zygomatic-orbital complex fractures with orbital fl oor reconstruction can be regarded as a valuable treatment option for this potentially complicated procedure. This case demonstrated the use of the non-ionizing, noncontact, navigation system in intraoperative procedure and clinical monitoring to identify the correct position and symmetry in complex orbital fl oor reconstruction.
