“…(Erdmann et al, 2008;Katzen et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2010;Motamedi, 2003) The cause of facial injuries depends on a variety of contributing factors, including environmental, cultural and socioeconomic factors.

“…In addition to the standard microsurgical bifrontal intradural approach [10,20,23], the endoscopic transnasal approach [9] and the subfrontal extradural approach [24,25] have been increasingly employed in recent years for posttraumatic CSF leak closure. However, studies often do not provide standardized outcome measures or use accepted fracture classifications [22], making comparison between study populations difficult, thereby limiting generalizability.…”

A management algorithm for cerebrospinal fluid leak associated with anterior skull base fractures: detailed clinical and radiological follow-up

Detailed outcome data for the management of anterior skull base fractures associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is lacking. We present detailed follow-up data of a single-center study using a predetermined algorithm for the management of CSF leakage secondary to traumatic fractures. A number of 138 consecutive patients were included in the analysis; all patients underwent high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scanning at time of admission with β(2)-transferrin testing used to confirm CSF leakage. Patients with acute surgical indications were operated as emergent; leaks were repaired at the time of initial surgery in patients with intracranial pressure < 15 cm H(2)O. The remainder of the study population was managed conservatively including use of prophylactic antibiotics; lumbar drainage (LD) catheters were placed in those patients with leakage persisting beyond 48 h. Leaks lasting longer than 5 days underwent microsurgical repair using an intradural bicoronal approach. One-year follow-up assessment included evaluation of neurological status, Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), and repeat head CT. Twenty eight patients (26.9%) underwent emergent surgery, 15 of whom had simultaneous CSF leak repair, whereas 76 patients (73.1%) underwent delayed CSF leak repair between days 5 and 14. Postoperative meningitis rate was low (1.9%). Postoperative CSF leak (1.9%) was managed by intradural or transnasal endoscopic operation. Comparable rates of anosmia and frontal lobe hypodensities were seen in the surgical and conservatively managed subgroups. The presented algorithm, utilizing prophylactic antibiotics, trial of LD, acute and/or delayed intradural microsurgery, yields favorable outcomes. Large randomized controlled trials are needed to better define the role of prophylactic antibiotics and to better characterize the optimal timing and approach of surgical repair.

“…But the problem is that there is not always sufficient information about the real extent of the fractures (Katzen et al, 2003). Therefore, frontobasal (FB) fractures may be not diagnosed in a timely fashion.…”

Craniofacial and Skull Base Trauma

Abstract: Early detection and treatment of craniofacial and skull base traumatic injuries should lead to decreased morbidity and mortality. This review discusses the most common of these injuries, their possible complications, and treatment.
