Association of maxillofacial injuries with traumatic brain injuries in paediatric patients: a case–control study
Paediatric patients with maxillofacial injuries need to be screened for TBI, as the risk of occurrence of TBI is 2.5 times greater in these patients than in those with injuries involving other parts of the body. RTA and prolonged hospitalization are factors associated with TBI among paediatric patients with maxillofacial injuries. The presence of only dentoalveolar injuries decreases the likelihood of a TBI.
