| description | The high incidence and prevalence of facial trauma makes it important to consider related injuries and possible complications that may arise as a result. Penetrating trauma to the face, although not common, requires a surgeon with knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the injured area and injury patterns.We present a case of penetrating trauma to the face that was caused by a blunt object (stake) resulting from the felling of a palm tree. We describe the transoral management that was performed and the multidisciplinary support that allowed optimal management of the injury without complications, including functional or aesthetic sequelae. |
