    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 1994 Sep; 97(9):991-3. PubMed ID: 7973755.
    Abstract:
    From 1968 to 1990, 135 children up to the age of 14 years were treated as in-patients for fractures of the facial skull. Most had been sustained in traffic accident. Other associated lesions were seen in 80 patients. In 21 of these we observed general surgical traumas or fractures of the base of the skull, and in 23 patients cerebral traumas were detected. Treatment was instituted an average of 1.7 days after the trauma in the case of patients with no associated injuries and of 5.6 days in the case of those with other injuries. Definitive treatment had been applied within 6 days after the accident in 80% of patients with other injuries and/or with fractures of the skull base.
