Nasal and Naso-orbito-ethmoid Fractures

Abstract

Craniofacial fractures are common among trauma patients. Nasal fractures are the most common craniofacial fracture. Understanding how to evaluate and manage craniofacial fractures is important for the craniofacial trauma consultant. This manuscript describes the appropriate workup and management of nasal and naso-orbito-ethmoid fractures.

Keywords
