Abstract
The LeFort I osteotomy is a versatile and simple procedure used by oral and maxillofacial surgeons for correction of congenital, developmental, or acquired dentofacial deformities. This technique is widely used due to its low complication rate such as rare, life-threatening events, reliable long-term results, and a high level of patient satisfaction. This report presents a case of LeFort I osteotomy resulting in an unusual complication of pulmonary thromboembolism.
