Pediatric facial trauma includes blunt and penetrating trauma to the structures of the face in patients ages less than 18 years. This article primarily focuses on soft tissue injuries, including the evaluation and acute management, with a focus on pediatric aspects of care. Common injuries such as lacerations and contusions that can be managed by general or emergency medicine providers, as well as more complex injuries requiring specialist evaluation, are discussed. This activity reviews the assessment and treatment of pediatric facial trauma and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating andimproving care for pediatric patients with facial trauma.
