“…Diagnosis and treatment of these fractures remain a challenge for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, demanding a high level of expertise. Recently, new modalities such as endoscopically assisted reduction (Mensink et al, 2009;Schmelzeisen et al, 2009) and fixation by new osteosynthesis materials (Meyer et al, 2008;Kozakiewicz et al, 2009) have been reported in the specialty literature. These modalities are less invasive and allow early recovery of the patients with a lower risk of complication.…”

This study evaluates the usefulness of endoscopic repair in certain types of facial fractures (orbital floor, isolated zygomatic arch and isolated anterior table frontal sinus fractures).Endoscopic application in otorhinolaryngology has expanded into many areas including facial plastic surgery and facial trauma (orbital blow-out, frontal sinus, zygomatic arch, and subcondylar fractures), therefore limiting the use of incisions for exposure. Endoscopically assisted facial bone surgery can be performed with many advantages, including: magnified direct visualization, decreased scarring, avoidance of numbness beyond the incision line, greater acceptability to the patient, decreased complication rate and short hospitalization. For assessment of the value of endoscopy in repair of certain facial fractures, we selected 12 consented patients with either orbital floor fracture, isolated zygomatic arch fracture or isolated anterior table frontal sinus fracture to be involved in our study after stabilizing the general condition. The patients were evaluated preoperatively by an ophthalmologist and all had complete CT study including coronal, axial (both bony and soft-tissue windows), sagital and 3D images. The patients were analyzed for sex, age, time of surgery, pre/postoperative symptoms; including ophthalmic symptoms, facial paraesthesia and aesthetic problems. The results of our endoscopic approach were evaluated esthetically and functionally to be classified into good, fair and poor results. We also classified the level of the surgery according to its difficulty into difficult, average and easy surgical performance.Good results were achieved in 8fractures (42%); fair in 8fractures (42%) and finally 3fractures (16%) with poor endoscopic result. The performed surgery considered easy in 9 (41%) patients, average in 6 (31%) patients and difficult in 4 (21%) patients. All patients had no significant complications. Conclusion: Endoscopic repair appears to be a safe and effective technique for repairing certain types of facial fracture.

“…En los últimos diez años el manejo endoscópico ha sido exitoso y su utilización se reduce a fracturas simples no desplazada de tabla anterior que no incluya reborde orbitario superior (13,21,36,38,39,40). Este método mínimamente invasivo, ofrece una alternativa para el tratamiento del seno frontal y permite una resección amplia del suelo del seno frontal para facilitar el drenaje.…”

“…Este método no es adecuado para todas las fracturas del seno frontal; las fracturas de pared anterior con conminución y las lesiones de mucosa pueden requerir una reducción abierta. Tampoco es aplicable en las fracturas desplazadas de pared posterior con daño en duramadre, asociadas a trauma en órbita y extensas fracturas de huesos del cráneo (38,40,42).…”

ResumenDesde la época de Reidel (1898) han sido considerables los avances en el manejo del trauma frontal; sin embargo, el tratamiento para este trauma sigue siendo controvertido y si por alguna circunstancia el manejo no es el adecuado, se pueden presentar serias complicaciones. En este articulo se reportan siete casos manejados por el servicio de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial del Hospital Militar Central (HMC) de Bogotá, Colombia, y se hace una revisión de la literatura sobre manejo de fracturas de seno frontal y las diferentes técnicas utilizadas, especialmente en la obliteración del receso frontal con los materiales autógenos o aloplásticos disponibles y las complicaciones más frecuentes.Palabras clave: receso frontal, cranealización, desfuncionalización, obliteración, mucocele MANAGEMENT OF FRONTAL TRAUMA. REVIEW LITERATURE AND REPORT OF CASES AbstractSince the work of Reidel (1898), there have been considerable advances in the management of frontal trauma. However, the treatment for this trauma is still controversial, so if given the case of inappropriate management, it can imply serious complications. In this article seven cases handled by the service of Oral Surgery and Maxilofacial of the Central Military Hospital (HMC) of Bogotá-Colombia are reported. A literature review was prepared on managing fracture of frontal sinus and the different technologies used, especially in the frontal recess obliteration with available autogenous or alloplastic materials and the most frequent complications.Key words: frontal recess, cranialization, defunctionalization, obliteration, mucocele ABORDAGEM DE TRAUMA FRONTAL. REVISÃO DA LITERATURA E RELATO DE CASOS ResumoDesde o tempo de Reidel (1898) tem havido avanços consideráveis na abordagem de trauma frontal; porem, o tratamento para o trauma ainda é controverso e se por algum motivo, a abordagem não é adequada, complicações graves podem ocorrer. Neste trabalho nós relatamos sete casos tratados pelo Serviço de Cirurgia Bucomaxilofacial do Hospital Militar Central (HMC) de Bogotá, Colômbia, e uma
