Naso-Orbito-Ethmoidal Complex Fractures

Management of naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures is a very complex process that includes proper diagnosis, classification and management. The evident telecanthus and depressed nasal bridge present a highly unaesthetic combination that highlights the importance of medial canthus and its bony insertion. A multidisciplinary approach helps the patient recover from associated head, eye or nasal injuries. Severe injuries may need secondary correction later, and this judgement by the surgeon helps the patient understand the outcome that may not restore the pre-trauma state but replicate the hard and soft tissue architecture as close as possible. The chapter will deal with the key points regarding the clinical features and the management of naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures.
