Head And Neck Trauma

OBJECTIVE: To characterize pediatric head and neck trauma from all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) at a single institution. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING: Retrospective case series at a level I pediatric trauma center. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients were admitted: average age was 12 years, with 68% between 12 and 16 years and 32% under 12 years. The patient was the driver in 74% of cases and the passenger in 17% of cases. Driver average age was 12.7 years and passenger average age was 10.5 years. Seventy-six percent of children were not wearing helmets. Average hospital stay was 6 days, with 81% of cases discharged home. Central nervous system injuries were most common, followed by soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue repair was the most frequent procedure, and most maxillofacial fractures required operative intervention. CONCLUSIONS: ATV-related morbidity and mortality in children are significant public health issues amenable to primary prevention by prohibiting passengers on ATVs and requiring helmet use. SIGNIFICANCE: National trends indicate increasing ATV-related injuries in children.

Head And Neck Trauma

Objective: To find out the prevalence of various types of head and neck trauma.Material and Methods: This retrospective study was done in the department of ENT and HNS, Patan Hospital, PAHS. Charts were retrospectively reviewed for total 61 inpatients with a diagnosis suggestive of head and neck trauma from August 2013 to January 2015. Data was collected for  age, sex, address, type of admission (emergency/OPD), mechanism of injury, site of injury , imaging including X-rays/CT scan wherever applicable and results, surgical therapy, type of anesthesia, hospital admission duration, complications, and follow-up and analyzed.Result: Males were common than females (62.3% vs. 37.7%).  Fall was the most common mode of injury (100%) in both pediatric and elderly population and in adults RTA (42.10%) was the most common mode. In the type of injury most common in pediatrics was oral cavity and oropharyngeal injury (47.60%), in adults facial soft tissue injury (STI) and facial fractures (42.10%) were equally common and in geriatrics  it was (100%).Conclusion: Adult males were prone to head and neck trauma mostly sustaining soft tissue injury (STI)  and fractures due to RTA and physical assult. Injury to oral cavity and oropharynx and STI due to fall is common in extreme of ages. Though the management out comes were good and no grave complications were reported in this study.Nepalese Journal of ENT Head and Neck Surgery, Vol. 6, No. 1, 2015

Objectives: To study clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of epistaxis in head and neck trauma. Methods: A prospective descriptive study of 71 cases of epistaxis managed at Hue Center Hospital and Hue Univesity Hospital from April 2015 to June 2016. Results: Most of bleeding times were at night (59.2%). Unilateral bleeding was seen in almost 72.9% cases. Anterior nasal bleeding was noted in majority of the patients (70.4%), anterior and posterior nasal was 18.3%, posterior nasal was 11.3%. There were three stage: mild (77.5%), moderate (15.5%), severe (7%). Anterior nasal packing (70.4%) were the most common methods, Posterior nasal packing were 25.4%, Local cauterization were 1.4%, Constriction of the blood vessels were 1.4%, Embolization procedure were 1.4%. Complication rate was 8.4% include: fever (5%), pressure necrosis (1.7%), scars (1.7%). The rate of good recovery after treatment was 91.7%, partial recovery was 8.3%. The overall mean of hospital stay was 6,33 ± 5,61 days (range 1 to 36 days). Key words: Epistaxis
