Abstract
Midface fractures present aclinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology due to their often complex injury pattern and nonspecific symptoms. Precise diagnostics, including differentiated imaging procedures, are required. Interdisciplinary consultation between otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology is often necessary. When selecting radiographic modalities, radiation hygiene should be taken into account. Sonography provides aradiation-free imaging alternative for fractures of the nasal framework and anterior wall of the frontal sinus. The goal of treatment is to achieve stable and symmetrical reconstruction. Depending on the injury pattern, different osteosynthesis materials, individual access routes, and various surgical procedures can be used. In clinical practice, the management of midface fractures requires amultidisciplinary, flexible, and pragmatic approach based on the fracture pattern and clinical experience.
