INTRODUCTION With the increased use of seat belts in motor vehicles, the frequency of morbidity and mortality associated with motor vehicle accidents may have decreased but there is an associated rise in injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of intra-abdominal injury in children who sustained Chance-type fractures in a motor vehicle accident. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of pediatric patients admitted for injuries sustained in motor vehicle…

Three Siblings With Chance Fractures: The Importance of 3-Point Restraints
TLDR
3 siblings in a minivan who were involved in a high-speed motor vehicle accident and as a result of wearing their 3-point restraints improperly, suffered Chance fractures, none had neurologic dysfunction, but 2 had serious intra-abdominal injuries requiring surgical repair.
Diaphragmatic avulsion with chance fracture: a rare association in the seat belt syndrome.
TLDR
The case of a child who was involved in a car accident and who presented with multiple traumas is described; liver and lung injuries were first detected, and the patient was managed accordingly, and a right diaphragmatic avulsion and a Chance fracture were diagnosed and treated successfully.
Chance fractures in the pediatric population.
TLDR
Chance fractures in children are potentially devastating injuries largely caused by motor vehicle collisions, and these fractures may be more common than previously thought.
Predictive indicators for bowel injury in pediatric patients who present with a positive seat belt sign after motor vehicle collision.
Pediatric spinal trauma
TLDR
A high index of suspicion and systematic evaluation and treatment of pediatric spine injuries can limit morbidity and lead to an improved outcome.
Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture in pediatric age: review of the literature
TLDR
TDR should be kept in mind while dealing with patients assessed for abdominal or respiratory symptoms whenever there is history of trauma or blunt injury especially in children as the increasing of non-operative management of blunt abdominal trauma could result in missing important injuries as TDR.
Flexion-distraction injuries in children and adolescents.
TLDR
Flexion-distraction injuries represent an uncommon pattern of injury in the pediatric population and carry a high rate of concomitant injuries and a high morbidity and mortality.
Other Pediatric Accidental Deaths
TLDR
This chapter focuses on differences in injury patterns of children across the spectrum of childhood development and growth, including injuries and fatalities that primarily occur in infancy and early childhood.
Management of Pancreaticoduodenal Injuries
TLDR
Intra-abdominal sepsis leading to multiple organ failure accounts for most of the late deaths, indicating the importance of early haemodynamic stabilization, adequate debridement of devitalized tissue and wide drainage.
Seatbelt Triad: Severe Abdominal Wall Disruption, Hollow Viscus Injury, and Major Vascular Injury
TLDR
A small case series involving the triad of seatbelt-related severe abdominal wall disruption, hollow viscus injury, and distal abdominal aortic injury after a motor vehicle collision is presented with the goal of preventing a future missed diagnosis.
