[Prolapse of the buccal fat pad in infant].
Two infant cases with traumatic prolapse of the buccal fat pad were presented. They suffered injuries from objects held in the mouth, such as a spoon and a tooth brush. Both received surgical treatment under local anesthesia, including closure of the wound with sutures. As the prolapsed tissue was fresh in the first case, it was repositioned. However, since the second case had passed 3 days after the accident and had a sign of infection, the prolapsed tissue was totally removed. Postoperative course was uneventful and there was no recurrence in both cases.
