[Fractures of the temporomandibular joints in childhood from indirect trauma to the chin. A report of 4 cases]. / Fratture delle articolazioni temporo-mandibolari nell'infanzia da traumi indiretti sul mento. Presentazione di 4 casi.

We observed four cases of temporomandibular joint fractures in children; all from indirect chin traumas. Traditional X-ray is not enough for a correct radiological diagnosis. CT, in particular with the axial scans, electronics coronal reconstructions, and where is possible direct sagittal scans, is able to give us a correct diagnosis about the nature and the site of the fractures.
