Abstract
Three normal children who suffered midfacial trauma and developed midfacial retrusion that would require Le Fort III advancements for correction of the deformity are described. The common denominator in these three cases seems to be an injury to the medial facial structure including the nasal septum. It is concluded that midfacial fractures in childhood may be a cause of subsequent midfacial hypoplasia.Keywords
