Abstract
Fractures of the sphenoid bone occur following injury to the orbit and base of the skull. Such fractures are important since they can cause loss of vision and damage to various neural and muscular tissues. Ocular injury is also commonly associated. This paper reviews the hospital records of 112 consecutive patients with fractures of the base of the skull for the cause, frequency of signs and symptoms, and treatment of the sphenoid bone injury. Various deformities and dysfunctions are correlated with imaging data and classified to describe specific clinical syndromes. Several cases of sphenoid bone fracture serve as examples of diagnostic and treatment techniques.
