Fronto-nasal-orbito-ethmoidal (FNOE) fractures result from complex high-energy trauma. They represent a therapeutic challenge and requires adequate surgical planning for the best functional and aesthetic patients recovery. The etiology is mainly related to car accidents and is more prevalent in men aged between 20 and 30 years. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is commonly associated and multidisciplinary care in intensive unit is routinely necessary. The present work aims to describe a severe case of FNOE fracture associated with a le fort III fracture. Surgery was performed through coronal access, proceeding with the fractures osteosynthesis. In addition orbital and frontal walls were reconstructed with titanium meshs. The patient had a good postoperative evolution and stills under late follow-up.
