Acute nasal trauma in children.
Fifty consecutive nasal injuries in children are described. The most important causative factors were domestic injuries (40%) and sport trauma (34%). Over 90% initially presented to departments other than ear, nose, and throat. Twenty cases required examination under general anesthesia. The severity of these injuries may be underestimated unless intranasal examination is performed.
