Abstract (English): The commitment of the frontal sinus with involvement of its walls is a rare lesion, around 5-12 % of all facial fractures. It's usually associated with intracranial, ophthalmologic, maxillofacial fractures and other injuries, and when there is a fracture of the posterior wall, requires immediate treatment with frontal sinus obliteration due to communication with meninges and frontal lobe because of infectious risk. We treat 18 patients with craniofacial trauma and fractures of the frontal sinus with involvement of the posterior wall in the period between 2007 and 2011, 8 women and 10 men, aged between 15 and 64 years. All cases were treated with open reduction and internal fixation using different appoaches and using adjacent pedicle flaps. The vitality of the flaps was 100%. We certify the correct positioning by computed tomography. The treatment of the fractures of the frontal sinus with involvement of the posterior wall or of the nasofrontal duct require obliteration with vascularized tissue to prevent communication with the nasal cavity.

Abstract (Spanish): El compromiso del seno frontal con fractura de sus paredes es un tipo de lesión infrecuente, en torno al 5-12% de todas las fracturas faciales. Suele asociarse a lesiones intracraneales, oftalmológicas y a otras fracturas máxilofaciales y cuando conlleva fractura de la pared posterior de seno frontal requiere tratamiento inmediato, siendo necesaria la obliteración del seno frontal debido a la comunicación con meninges y lóbulo frontal, con el riesgo infeccioso que ello representa. Tratamos 18 pacientes con traumatismos craneofaciales y fracturas del seno frontal con compromiso de su pared posterior en el periodo comprendido entre 2007 y 2011; 8 mujeres y 10 varones con edades comprendidas entre los 15 y los 64 años. Todos los casos fueron tratados con reducción y osteosíntesis por vía abierta con distintos abordajes y realizamos en todos colgajos pediculados de vecindad. La vitalidad de los colgajos fue del 100%. Certificamos el posicionamiento correcto mediante tomografía axial computarizada. El tratamiento de las fracturas del seno frontal con compromiso de su pared posterior o del conducto nasofrontal requiere obliteración con tejido vascularizado para evitar comunicaciones con la cavidad nasal.
