  • - Fractures in the frontal cranial vault vary based on complications like cerebrospinal fluid leakage, sinus damage, or if they extend to the skull base or facial areas.
  • - Effective initial management is essential to prevent long-term complications that may require ongoing follow-up and a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

Article Abstract

Forehead traumatic injuries are frequently associated with head trauma. The primary concern in such cases is the neurological aspect, but these injuries also have significant functional (such as sinus ventilation and frontal movement) and aesthetic implications. Fractures of the frontal cranial vault differ based on the presence of associated rhinoliquorrhea, sinus involvement, or extension to the skull base or facial mass. Some cases could even require a multidisciplinary approach. Some fractures may lead to long-term complications, necessitating prolonged follow-up. Given the potential sequelae of all forehead injuries, meticulous initial management is crucial.
