Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Diagnostic Imaging of Infants and Children AB - Trauma is the most common cause of mortality in childhood. Although most fatalities are a result of head injuries, the thorax is often involved in major injuries, including motor vehicle-related trauma. The most common manifestations of thoracic trauma are rib fractures. Injuries of the lungs or mediastinum can be life-threatening. Intentional trauma is an important cause of rib fractures in infants and young children.
