Lefort fracture includes fracture of the nasofrontal junction, bilateral area of the frontozygomatic suture, and probable fracture of the zygomatic arch. This fracture is also referred to as cranial facial disjunction. The Novel treatment for bilateral Lefort III is surgical management and medical management. It may be present in anyone who meets with an accident. Here we present the case of a 41-year adult man who came to the emergency department with complaints of head injury, absence of consciousness, nasal bleed drop by drop, swelling in the face, tooth avulsion, and prickling sensation over the lower right side of the face.
