Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The classification of anterior fossa fractures with their sequelae: cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, pneumocephalus, or meningitis is presented. This classification is based on five selection criteria which are discussed in this paper. This classification resulted in the table of indications for operative treatment, according to which the appropriate time for operation in urgent cases is immediately, in cases with absolute indication 5 to 6 days after the injury, in long-lasting CSF rhinorrhea or pneumocephalus 10 days after the onset, in intermittent or delayed rhinorrhea and/or pneumocephalus as soon as these signs occur, and in cases of meningitis soon after recovery. This study is based on the analysis of 52 consecutive surgically treated cases, collected from 1984 up to December 1989. |
