There are no agreed national guidelines for the treatment of fractures of the frontal sinus and the naso-orbitoethmoid complex. The Oxford University Hospitals Craniofacial Trauma unit was set up five years ago as a joint oral and maxillofacial, ENT, and neurosurgical service, and we present our experience to date in the treatment of patients with such fractures. The study includes 91 patients with data collected from a prospective database. Patients underwent cranialisation if they met the criteria of persistent leak of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), displaced fracture of the posterior wall or obstruction of the nasofrontal outflow tract. The mean follow-up time was 42 months (range 1-10 years). Three groups of patients were analysed. Group 1 met the criteria for, and were treated by, cranialisation (n=50). Group 2 met the criteria for cranialisation, but were treated conservatively because of coexisting conditions (n=8). Group 3 did not match the criteria for treatment, and were managed conservatively (n=33).The numbers of patients with complications or who required further operation were: group 1 (4/50), group 2 (3/8), and group 3 (3/33). There were significantly fewer complications among those patients who met the operative criteria and were treated by cranialisation than among those treated conservatively (p=0.04). These outcomes from one dedicated multispecialist craniofacial trauma unit in the UK may help surgeons who care for patients with this specific group of injuries. Our morbidity was in keeping with published figures.
