In some previous cases of clival bone fracture in patients with severe head injury, the diagnosis of clival bone fracture was relatively complicated. Regarding the incidence of clival fractures, some reports have shown an incidence of between 0.21% and 1.2% among traumatic brain injury victims who are admitted to hospital (1-3). The relationship between the site of the head and the type of frac...

The zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) can account for up to 40% of midface fractures. They are the second most common facial fracture following nasal bone fractures [1]. These fractures commonly stem from assault, motor vehicle accidents, and athletics [1-3]. The ZMC is an important component of facial structure as it defines midface width and malar projection. The ZMC is often referred to as a...

62 SAJS VOL. 53 NO. 2 JULY 2015 Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks secondary to frontal sinus fractures are usually repaired by neurosurgeons through a standard craniotomy or osteoplastic flap procedure with obliteration of the frontal sinus or cranialisation of the intracranial contents (removal of the posterior wall of the frontal sinus and allowing the frontal lobe to rest against the anterior ...

BACKGROUND Facial fractures are infrequent in children and adolescents and have different clinical features from those in adults. The low incidence in children and adolescents reflects the flexibility and underdevelopment of their facial skeletons, as well as their more protected environments. Only a few reports have reviewed such patients in Korea. The authors performed a retrospective study t...
