Implication

Case report demonstrates successful management of CSF fistula in a polytrauma patient, indicating surgical intervention is crucial.

Abstract

Frontal sinus fractures are a significant cause of morbidity following head injuries. This article presents a case report of a male patient who suffered polytrauma due to a car accident. The patient sustained a comminute frontal bone fracture and anterior skull base fractures, complicated by delayed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. We detail the surgical techniques applied for frontal sinus obliteration and skull base reconstruction and provide a comprehensive review of the literature.
