Fracture of the Anterior Nasal Spine: A Case Report

Abstract

Fractures of the anterior nasal spine are quite rare. A case of motor vehicle accident-related fracture of the anterior nasal spine in a 21-year-old male is presented. General characteristics of these fractures and concomitant cervical trauma were discussed. Fracture of the anterior nasal spine should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the midface injuries
