[Plastic closure of anterior fossa with simultaneous reconstruction of superior and middle facial zones].

The article describes surgical treatment of a patient with traumatic brain injury combined with anterior fossa defect, CSF leak, bony fractures of superior and middle facial zones. Multidisciplinary surgical team including neurosurgeon, maxillofacial surgeon and ophthalmologist performed single-step operation which consisted of skull base defect closure, cranialization of frontal sinus and reconstruction of its anterior wall by titanium mesh, reposition and fixation of bony fragments of nasoorbital complex, maxilla, surgical fixation of occlusion by cortical screws. The surgery resulted in cessation of CSF leak, restoration of orbital geometry which lead to regression of diplopia and oculomotor disorders. Cosmetic defect was eliminated. This case report demonstrates high effectiveness of multidisciplinary approach in surgical treatment of complex craniofacial injuries.
