Craniofacial injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents: an integrative review

Abstract: Traffic accidents have been a public health problem in the fastest growing in Brazil and the world, especially motorcycles. In addition to the high mortality rates, also include injuries and sequelae caused the crash survivors. The face injuries are common in this type of accident causing aesthetic and functional deformities in the face, requiring rehabilitation. A search of the literature was performed to map the lesions in the craniofacial region resulting from traffic accidents per motorcycle, also seeking their possible implications for Human Communication. The Pubmed, Lilacs and SciELO data were accessed by selecting the articles by title, then by abstract, to the end select the articles for reading in full. After this process, 10 studies were selected for review. In the facial region, the most frequent were fractures in the bones of the jaw, and Nasal Zygomatic, being the most prominent in the region. Stood out as the Cranial Trauma injuries more severe, since they can lead to death. Despite the breakdown of injuries, sequelae and data on the rehabilitation of the victims of accidents caused by motorcycles were rare in the literature.摘要：交通事故已成为巴西乃至全球范围内增长最快的公共卫生问题之一，其中摩托车相关交通事故尤为突出。除了极高的死亡率外，事故幸存者还会遭受各类损伤并留下后遗症。此类事故中面部损伤较为常见，会造成面部美观与功能畸形，患者需接受康复治疗。本研究通过文献检索，系统梳理摩托车交通事故导致的颅面区域损伤情况，并探讨其对人类沟通可能产生的影响。研究检索了Pubmed、Lilacs及SciELO数据库，先通过标题初筛文献，再结合摘要进一步筛选，最终选取符合要求的文献进行全文通读。经此筛选流程，共纳入10项研究进行综述。在面部损伤中，颌骨及鼻颧骨（Nasal Zygomatic）骨折最为常见，为该区域的主要损伤类型；颅脑创伤（Cranial Trauma）则是最为严重的损伤类型，可导致患者死亡。尽管现有文献对摩托车事故受害者的损伤分类、后遗症及康复相关数据的记载仍较为匮乏。
