Abstract In pediatrics, orbital fracture repair must be weighed against the potential skeletal growth disruption resulting from surgery and preventing globe malposition and motility complications. Pediatric orbital fractures are unique…
Abstract The force required to fracture the temporal bone is substantial and can lead to vascular injury, hearing loss, vertigo or imbalance, facial nerve injury, and cerebral spinal fluid leaks….
Abstract The management of fractures of the midface has undergone significant evolution as practitioners have gained a more in-depth understanding of the interplay with the remainder of the craniofacial skeleton….
Abstract Traumatic head injury is a leading cause of disability and death in children. Various mechanisms of injury and the unique properties of the growing skull lead to a number…
Abstract Within the pediatric age group, orbital fractures are among the most common facial fractures. Although pediatric craniofacial trauma remains relatively uncommon when compared to the adult population, it continues…
Abstract Calvarial trauma in the pediatric population differs significantly from that seen in adults. Nonaccidental head trauma is the leading cause of death in infants less than 12 months of…
Abstract Fractures of the condylar process of the mandible are common injuries. The treatment is controversial because they can be treated closed or open. This chapter will discuss these fractures…
Abstract The management of fractures of the mandibular angle, body, symphysis, and parasymphysis have undergone significant evolution as practitioners have gained a more in-depth understanding of mandibular mechanics and the…
Abstract Management of frontal sinus and anterior skull base injuries can be complex. Accurate diagnosis and meticulous surgical technique are required to obtain optimal surgical results. This chapter reviews key…
