Abstract:
Forehead traumatic injuries are frequently associated with head trauma. The primary concern in such cases is the neurological aspect, but these injuries also have significant functional (such as sinus ventilation and frontal movement) and aesthetic implications. Fractures of the frontal cranial vault differ based on the presence of associated rhinoliquorrhea, sinus involvement, or extension to the skull base or facial mass. Some cases could even require a multidisciplinary approach. Some fractures may lead to long-term complications, necessitating prolonged follow-up. Given the potential sequelae of all forehead injuries, meticulous initial management is crucial.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
