“…Although emergency room visits decreased, Cavuoto et al [4 ▪ ] and Sanjay et al [5 ▪ ] did not find a proportionate decrease in pediatric ocular trauma. In addition, although there is evidence for potential increase in incidence of intimate partner violence during the COVID pandemic [6 ▪ ], a retrospective study by Theodorou et al [7 ▪ ] at a level 1 trauma center did not show any change in child abuse rates in the pediatric trauma population.…”

Purpose of review The aim of this study was to summarize current evidence on the clinical presentation, evaluation, and management of pediatric orbital fractures. Recent trends in management strategies as well as emerging surgical techniques for pediatric orbital fracture repair are presented. Recent findings Although somewhat limited, growing bodies of evidence support a conservative approach with close follow up in pediatric orbital fractures. For those patients necessitating surgical repair, resorbable implants are increasingly preferred given their lack of donor site morbidity and a minimal impact on the developing craniofacial skeleton. There are emerging data reporting the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing-assisted approaches and intraoperative navigation; however, more research is needed to assess their applicability in the pediatric population. Summary There are few studies with large patient cohorts and long-term follow up given the rare incidence of pediatric orbital fractures, which restricts the generalizability of research on the topic. The studies available increasingly suggest that fractures without clinical evidence of entrapment can be managed conservatively with close follow up. A variety of reconstructive implants are available for those fractures necessitating repair. Donor site morbidity, availability, and need for additional procedures should all be factored into the reconstructive decision-making process.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed significant psychological strain on children and their families, with far-reaching consequences. While some suggested a 5.2% increase in child maltreatment prevalence in the US post-COVID-19 outbreak [ 23 ], conflicting findings showed a 7.95% decrease in the number of maltreatment incidents during the pandemic [ 24 ]. Despite these opposing findings, alarming statistics underscore concerns regarding child maltreatment during the COVID-19 era, affecting children both in the United States and globally.…”

“…Additionally, child abuse also encompasses non-physical trauma such as emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. Concerns over the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on child abuse have been extensively and specifically explored in the literature, including in systematic reviews [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Therefore, a review of the literature pertaining to NAT was included only if it was mentioned in studies pertaining to all traumatic injuries.…”
