OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the age, sex, etiology, diagnosis and treatment time of nasal bone fractures.@*METHOD@#Clinical data of 202 cases with nasal bone fractures treated in the hospital were retrospectively analysed.@*RESULT@#A total of 202 cases,163 men (80. 7%) and 39 women (19. 3%). Fifty-two patients had a relationship with alcohol consumption, and all of them were males. The most frequent reasons of the injury were fight 46. 5% (94 cases) followed by falling-down 21. 3% (43 cases), traffic accidents 19. 3% (39 cases), works related 6. 5% (13 cases), sport injuries 5. 9% (12 cases) and others 0. 5% (1 cases). Patients distribution in seasons were: spring 54 cases (26.7%), summer 42 cases (20.8%), autumn 58 cases (28.7%), winter 48 cases (23. 8%). Diagnosis of nasal bone fractures were made positively by x-ray films in 79. 7% of cases, but 100% by CT. Positive predictive value of CT was superior to that of X-ray films in the diagnosis of nasal bone fracture.@*CONCLUSION@#High morbidity of nasal bone fracture was seen in the age group of 20-29 years, and predominantly in male.
