Objectives: We evaluated the characteristics of fractures and treatment results in pediatric patients with maxillofacial fractures. Patients and Methods: The study included 32 children (19 boys, 13 girls; mean age 8 years; range 2 to 16 years) who underwent treatment for maxillofacial fractures between 1994 and 2002. The patients were evaluated with respect to age, sex, etiology, seasonal distribution of fracture occurrence, fracture localization and treatment results. Results: The majority of patients (n=21 ; 65.6%) were at the age of, or older than, six years. Motor-vehicle accidents were the main cause (59.4%) of fractures. Twenty-eight patients (87.5%) had mandibular fractures, eight patients (25%) had nasal fractures, and seven patients (21.9%) had maxillary fractures. Treatment comprehended open reduction and inter-nal fixation in 15 patients, open reduction with internal and external fixation in three patients, and close reduction and external fixation in 11 patients. Three patients were monitored without any intervention. No complications occurred during or after treatment. Conclusion: Treatment of pediatric facial fractures requires consideration of developmental features of the child and bone structure.
