Abstract
Even though there has been a decrease in the incidence of pediatric craniomaxillofacial injuries over the past decades, which can be attributed to legislation requiring helmets, seat belts, and improved automotive design [1–4], pediatric facial injuries still represent a challenge to treating surgeons. In fact, 850,000 pediatric emergency room visits per year are related to craniofacial trauma [5]. As one can expect, boys have a higher predilection towards facial injuries than girls irrespective of age [6]. The specific location and pattern of facial fractures sustained by the pediatric patient are highly dependent on the mechanism of action and age. This chapter serves as an introduction and guide for surgeons treating pediatric facial injuries, specifically pertaining to pediatric nasal and orbital fractures.
