Abstract
Apart from midfacial traumas, laterobasal fractures are the most common skull base injuries the ENT surgeon has to deal with. These fractures often appear in combination with more or less extensive further skull or brain injuries. In these cases interdisciplinary co-operation with the neurosurgeon is necessary. Today, development of high resolution computed tomography makes it possible to define priorities in treatment of these patients exactly.
