Frontal sinus fractures are rare in children, uncommon in adolescents, and most commonly the result of high-impact collisions of the face with an immovable object. Most are associated with other facial and head injuries; intracranial injury should be considered an invariable concomitant of any frontal sinus fracture that involves the posterior sinus wall. Proper management of frontal sinus fractures requires a multidisciplinary team approach.
In a retrospective study we have evaluated 75 osteoplastic frontal sinus operations performed in Fulda (Germany) between 1979 and 1993. Fractures, infections, tumors and pneumatosinus represent the indications for surgery. The frontal sinuses were obliterated in 31 cases. The average duration of follow up was 3.8 years. The overall results were very good and without serious complications. Only one revision was necessary.
