Abstract: Frontal sinus fractures are one of the most devastating lesions that can occr after a high energy impact trauma. They are the expression of a severe cerebral trauma and in almost all the cases there are medical-legal implications. There is limited data, in Romania, regarding their management. Therefore, we attempt in this retrospective study to report our experience, following a 5-year period (2014-2019), in their treatment. Epidemiological and etiological data is exposed compared to the literature. We strongly think that a uniform treatment strategy of treatment, made by a multidisciplinary team, is mandatory.
