Successful reduction of severely telescoped nasofrontal ethmoidal fractures is difficult to achieve. In an effort to improve the results, a technique involving open reduction and external fixation was performed on three patients. These cases, along with ten other nasofrontal ethmoidal fractures treated between 1971 and 1980, are presented, with special emphasis in methods of reduction, stabilization, and results. The method of open reduction using an osteoplastic frontal sinus flap with external fixation gave the best overall results.

Sincipital meningoencephaloceles (MECs) are rare congenital malformations characterized by the herniation of brain or meningeal tissue through an opening in the anterior floor of the skull base. These malformations always affect the frontal bone, specifically the glabellar region and the naso-frontal angle. A collaboration between Médecins du Monde and the Children's Surgical Center in Phnom Penh has enabled the treatment of over four hundred cases over twenty years.

To investigate the criteria for selecting surgical approaches for frontal and ethmoid sinus osteomas of different locations and sizes on CT imaging. Using sagittal and coronal CT images, the following lines were delineated: the F-line(a horizontal line passing nasofrontal beak), the M-line(a vertical line passing paries medialis orbitae), and the P-line(a vertical line passing the center of the pupil). Classification of frontal and ethmoid sinus osteomas was based on their relationship with these lines.

Background: The perpendicular plate of ethmoid (PPE) was used to correct short noses in rhinoplasty in Asians, but the safe harvest of the plate and the assessment of its clinical application has been perplexing to plastic surgeons.

Aims: To explore how to safely cut the perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone and evaluate its application effect.

Patients/methods: A finite element model was established to guide the clinical operation.

Aesthetic Outcome of Primary Rhinoplasty of Saddle Nose Deformity in Naso-Orbital Ethmoidal Fractures in Asian Patients.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Craniofacial Research Center, LinKou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan, Taiwan.

Background: Saddle nose deformity following naso-orbital ethmoidal (NOE) fractures remain a challenging problem for the reconstructive surgeon. Early reduction and internal fixation allow for fracture stabilization but is unable to address the problem of the depressed nasal dorsum, especially after soft tissue shrinkage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of primary rhinoplasty in patients with NOE fractures.
