Pediatric palatal fractures are rare clinical presentations owing to the relative plasticity of their bones. We present a case of a 3-year-old pedestrian struck male patient presenting with a mid-sagittal palatal fracture which corresponds to a Hendrickson class II fracture. Diagnosis and treatment of these rare cases are very critical to ensuring proper manducatory functions and normal facial growth in these children.
由于小儿骨骼具有相对可塑性,小儿腭骨骨折是一种罕见的临床表现。我们报告一例3岁男性行人被撞患者,其患有矢状位中部腭骨骨折,属于亨德里克森II级骨折。对于这些罕见病例的诊断和治疗,对于确保这些儿童正常的咀嚼功能和面部生长至关重要。
