The author reports about 183 patients with frontobasal injuries. 50 per cent of them were operated immediately because open injuries or intracranial complications. The other half was operated in an interval of 5 to 10 days after injury. The localisation of the frontobasal lesion, clinical results according to the Glasgow Coma Scale and Glasgow Outcome Scale as well as the operation methods are demonstrated and discussed. The operative closure of the dura failure with an unipedicled periosteal flaps ensures good results in the most cases.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010521	Periosteum	Thin outer membrane that surrounds a bone. It contains CONNECTIVE TISSUE, CAPILLARIES, nerves, and a number of cell types.
D001930	Brain Injuries	Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

D013524	Surgical Flaps	Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region.
