Zygomatic arch fractures account for 10% to 15% of all facial fractures and are commonly caused by a direct blow to the face. Zygomatic fractures are most caused by blunt trauma. Paediatric zygomatic fractures are a rare complication in the continuum of craniofacial injuries that cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons deal with. The combination between etiology, force of damage, and stage of craniofacial development determines the location and distribution of facial fractures in children. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the epidemiology, classification and management of zygomatic fractures in children. Although facial fractures especially zygomatic fractures in children are quite uncommon and rare, appropriate screening and diagnosis, as well as prompt treatment, are necessary to avoid consequences. Surgeons face tremendous hurdles when dealing with facial trauma associated with serious injuries, as there is a functional and aesthetic impact on the growing children, as well as a financial and emotional burden on the patient and family. The early management of zygomatic fractures in children, like any trauma, detects situations that require rapid treatment to avoid life-threatening consequences. Paediatric zygomatic fractures are quite uncommon due to the specific anatomic, physiologic, social, and environmental aspects that accompany craniofacial growth however the literature data is lacking and quite scarce, more epidemiological studies targeting age group of children are needed. </p> </abstract> <kwd-group> <kwd>zygomatic</kwd> <kwd> fracture</kwd> <kwd> children</kwd> <kwd> facial</kwd> <kwd> treatment</kwd> </kwd-group> </article-meta> </front> </article>
