Résumé

Introduction : Les traumatismes maxillo-faciaux de l’enfant sont relativement rares. L’objectif était de déterminer les caractéristiques épidémiologiques et cliniques des traumatismes maxillo-faciaux de l’enfant.
Matériel et méthodes : Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective et descriptive réalisée dans le service de Chirurgie Maxillo-faciale et Stomatologie du Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire de Bouaké (Côte d’Ivoire), pendant une durée de 4 ans. Ont été inclus dans l’étude, tous les enfants ayant présenté au moins une lésion maxillo-faciale post-traumatique. Les paramètres étudiés ont été : la fréquence, l’âge, le sexe, l’étiologie, le siège des lésions maxillo-faciales et les associations lésionnelles extra-faciales.
Résultats : Quatre-cent-sept dossiers d’enfants traumatisés maxillo-faciaux ont été étudié donnant une prévalence hospitalière traumatologique de 26,34%. L’âge moyen était de 7,24 ans avec des extrêmes de 12 mois et 15 ans. Le sex-ratio était de 1,57. Les causes comportaient les accidents de la voie publique dans 51,84% des cas et la totalité de ces accidents impliquaient des engins motorisés à 2 roues. Il y avait également les accidents de jeu dans 25,8% des cas. Des lésions des parties molles de la face étaient observées dans 159 cas (39,06%). Les lésions osseuses intéressaient l’étage inférieur de la face (mandibule) chez 178 patients (43,73%), l’étage moyen de la face chez 118 patients (28,99%).
Discussion : Les traumatismes maxillo-faciaux de l’enfant, à Bouaké, sont particulièrement fréquents, intéressent surtout les jeunes adolescents usagers de moto et occasionnent des lésions graves de tissus mous et osseux de la face.
