Dental and dentoalveolar injuries are common in the pediatric population. Management is predicated on the type of tooth injured (primary or permanent), extent of injury, the dental and behavioral age…
The management of pediatric facial fractures requires several considerations by the treating surgeon. Pediatric facial fractures occur less commonly than in adults. Among fracture patterns in children, studies have repeatedly…
Anatomic differences of the primary dentition may hinder traditional methods of intermaxillary fixation. Furthermore, the presence of both the primary and permanent dentition can complicate establishing, and maintaining, the preinjury…
Pediatric Trauma results in over 8 million emergency department visits and 11,000 deaths annually. Unintentional injuries continue to be the leader in morbidity and mortality in pediatric and adolescent populations…
Trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for children in the United States. Access to trauma care, injury burden, and outcomes following injury, are inequitable. There are many…
The discovery of inherited and somatic genetic mutations, along with advancements in clinical and scientific research, has improved the understanding of vascular anomalies and changed the treatment paradigm. With the…
Vascular anomalies (VAs) can be present in any organ; however, the skin being the largest one, it is there where many of them are evident; some are visible at birth,…
Discovery of inherited and somatic genetic mutations, along with advancements in clinical and scientific research, has improved understanding of vascular anomalies and changed the treatment paradigm. With aim of minimizing…
Vascular anomalies of the head and neck frequently involve the upper aerodigestive tract and can cause some level of airway obstruction. It is important to fully evaluate the extent of…
Osseous vascular anomalies can be characterized as vascular tumors or malformations. Classification is vital for prognosis and treatment. Much remains unknown about conditions such as Gorham–Stout disease. Treatments target the…
The treatment of hemangiomas and vascular malformations should be individualized, based upon the size of the lesion(s), morphology, location, presence or possibility of complications, the potential for scarring or disfigurement,…
There continuous to be widespread misuse of nomenclature used to described vascular anomalies, This is even more pronounced in the case of intra-osseous lesions. Bone involvement is more common with…
The majority of the vascular anomalies are seen in the head and neck region. Even though the incidence of this anomaly could be construed as a rare disease entity, with…
Vascular anomalies include benign or malignant tumors or benign malformations of the arteries, veins, capillaries, or lymphatic vasculature. The genetic etiology of the lesion is essential to define the lesion…
Interventional approaches to head and neck vascular anomalies have evolved with our understanding of disease pathologic condition and advances in medical and surgical treatment. Embolization’s role in the disease management…
Head and neck vascular pathology is routinely encountered by the maxillofacial surgeon. Although these anomalies have been traditionally managed by surgical means, adjunctive therapies have been popularized in recent years….
