[Care of war injuries of the nasal apparatus]

Prominent position of nose and paranasal sinuses (nose complex) is one of the most percentage of war injuries (37.00% of ORL region). Unfortunately, these wounds are badly observed. So late we have big functional and aesthetical disorders. Using simple methods like inspection, palpation, rhinoscopy and some radiologic examination we could have a good information about kind and lesion extension. It is very important in operating planning. This paper is retrospective analyses of nose complex war injuries in a first 12 months of aggression. They are open nonpenetrans in less than a half cases and high percent of isolated injuries (42.60%). Most of them are from artillery projectiles.
