dFNP due to head trauma is a rarely encountered clinical entity, and optimal treatment still remains to be elucidated. Based on the reported data, it seems rational to propose a conservative approach for dFNP with steroid administration as a first line in most cases, indicating surgery in severe and/or refractory cases.
