Abstract (EN): The naso-orbito-ethmoid fracture represents a challenging surgical problem due to the complexity and density of the anatomic components of the area. NOE fractures are usually associated with significant cosmetic and functional sequelae. Expeditious definitive therapy is needed to best correct these problems. Thus, most of these fractures should be reduced and repaired surgically. CT scan images have superior resolution compared to plain films. They are also better for helping delineate multiple fractures and evaluate associated cartilaginous or soft tissue injury.
