AB Maxillofacial  trauma  in  children  more  often  results  in  soft-tissue  injury  than  facial  fractures.Up  to  half  of  seriously  injured  children  with  facial  trauma  also  have  intracranial  injury.The  most  emergent  complication  of  facial  trauma  is  airway  compromise.CT  scan  is  the  definitive  diagnostic  test  for  precise  delineation  of  maxillofacial  fractures.Injury  patterns  vary  by  age  as  a  result  of  the  unique  development  of  the  facial  skeleton.Timely  referral  of  nasal  fractures  is  important,  as  these  injuries  may  have  a  profound  effect  on  subsequent  nasal  and  maxillofacial  development.
