dc.description.abstractxIntroduction: Compound depressed frontal bone fractures exhibits some peculiarities such as frequent involvement of frontal sinus and olfactory nerve and tract, which lie on the floor of the anterior cranial fossa. The primary aim of our study is analyzing factors influencing the outcomes in compound depressed fractures of frontal bone .This will help in improving outcomes and management of compound depressed frontal bone fracture. Material and methods: Study was conducted at tertiary care institute by collecting data of 40 patients operated surgically from August 2018 to July 2019. The study included patients who were diagnosed with compound depressed frontal bone fracture and underwent surgical management at our institute. Follow-up was performed at least 3 months after the trauma. The variables evaluated were mortality, GOS, occurrence of rhinorrhea, meningitis, late post-traumatic epilepsy and smell disturbances. Results: Most of our patient with GCS 13-15 was discharged with good clinical outcome and no complication on follow-up. Patient with low GCS and delayed presentation are at risk and adds up morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: Early surgical intervention in patients with GCS 13-15 is associated with good outcomes and low complication rate associated with meningitis or CSF leak.en_US
