Impalement injuries of the soft palate
and oropharynx are common in children, especially
those of preschool age. These injuries are particularly
common in toddlers, given their propensity to
fall easily while carrying objects in their mouths.
Although most of these injuries do not have lasting
sequelae, some can have devastating neurological
complications, and consequently, careful assessment
of the patient during the early stages of trauma is
imperative. |
