Detection of mandibular condylar fractures on head CT scans in infants with witnessed falls

Le résumé fourni par la source

Infants experience facial fractures infrequently due to their limited mobility, and when such injuries do occur, the mandible is among the most affected facial bones. Isolated mandibular condylar fractures, however, are rarely reported in this age group. Clinical detection is particularly challenging in nonverbal infants, making careful imaging assessment essential when evaluating facial trauma. This case series presents infants with condylar fractures that were first identified on head CT studies, emphasizing key clinical considerations and the importance of evaluating the mandibular condyles on every head CT.
