Frontal sinus and supraorbital fractures from vehicle accidents.
Fractures of the upper third of the face from vehicle accidents are relatively uncommon but can have serious associated injuries of the dura and frontal lobe when they do occur. The injury may result from the victim's face either striking the dashboard or bouncing violently off the lower broken edge of the penetrated windshield.
