Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Strange and Schafermeyer's Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 4e AB - Maxillofacial trauma in children more often results in soft-tissue injury than facial fractures.Up to 55% of seriously injured children with facial trauma also have intracranial injury.The most urgent complication of facial trauma is airway compromise.Computed tomography (CT) scan is the definitive diagnostic test for precise delineation of maxillofacial fractures.The mandible is most frequently involved in posttraumatic developmental deformities.Timely referral of nasal fractures is important, as these injuries may have a profound effect on subsequent nasal and maxillofacial development.
