[Frontosphenotemporal fractures : a separate anatomical and clinical entity (author's transl)]

The author describes twenty cases of a type of external craniofacial fracture centred on the orbit, characterized by the frequency of ophthalmological complications, and mobilizing a segment of the frontosphenotemporal vault, and segments of the middle and anterior stages of the base of the skull. It is suggested that these be called frontosphenotemporal fractures.
