What the experts said
This is a multicenter retrospective review examining whether head CT could serve as screening for facial fractures in pediatric closed trauma.
The study included 322 patients with facial fractures.
89% of facial fractures were detected by head CT.
Most undetected fractures were displaced nasal fractures, mandibular fractures, or dental injuries.
Only 2% of undetected fractures required surgical intervention.
Head CT appears to serve adequately as screening for facial fractures in pediatric closed trauma.
