“…Canthopexy can be performed by many methods, transnasal wiring currently being the method of choice [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Other methods described are canthopexy using stainless steel screws [36], transcaruncular barb and miniplate [37], cantilevered miniplate [38] or the combined transcaruncular-transnasal suture technique [39]. We successfully reconstructed nasal projection and contour by fixing the nasal bones to the supraorbital margins left intact using osteosynthesis with miniplates and screws; otherwise, nasal bone grafting would have been required [4,36,37,38,39,40].…”

Even though the nasal bones were rigidly fixed to the cranium, an intranasal conformer was necessary for five days in order to prevent the medial displacement of the frontal process of the maxilla and lacrimal bones [1,2,3,4,5,6].…”

A Naso-Orbito-Ethmoid (NOE) Fracture Associated with Bilateral Anterior and Posterior Frontal Sinus Wall Fractures Caused by a Horse Kick—Case Report and Short Literature Review

Naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fractures associated with anterior and posterior frontal sinus wall fractures are among the most challenging cranio-maxillofacial injuries. These represent a major emergency, having a potentially severe clinical picture, with intracranial hemorrhage, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningeal lesions, pneumocephalus, contusion or laceration of the brain matter, coma, and in some cases death. In this article, we present the case of a 30-year-old patient with the diagnosis of NOE fracture associated with bilateral anterior and posterior frontal sinus wall fractures caused by a horse kick, with a fulminant post-traumatic alteration of the neurological status and major impairment of the midface bone architecture. Despite the severity and complexity of the case, early initiation of correct treatment both in terms of intensive care and cranio-maxillofacial surgery led to the successful rehabilitation of the neurological status, as well as to the reconstruction and redimensioning of midface architecture and, not least, to the restoration of the patient’s physiognomy.
