Abstract:
Children have differences in their physiology, anatomy and they are continuing to grow and develop. The management of pathology, trauma, deformity and upper airway obstruction in the young growing patient has to take into account these factors in the treatment planning for these conditions.

This chapter will provide an overview of the some of the major components of paediatric maxillofacial surgery and their management.
