- Abstract
The majority of frontal sinus fractures are common in young male adults, which sustain accidents, involving significant amount of force. Treatment of such cases is still a matter of research in neurosurgical and craniofacial surgery. A rational approach to the management of frontal sinus fractures is based on understanding the anatomic relationship of the frontal sinus with the brain and periorbital region and preventing early and late complications. The main goal of a multidisciplinary team is to isolate the intracranial contents and restore function and aesthetics of the frontal bone and orbital area. Although diagnosis and prognosis have progressed due to advances in computer tomography, patients have to be aware of life long problems and risks, even with appropriate management. In this article we present a case of a 32-year old male patient, who sustained such an injury and required specialized diagnosis and treatment.
