AbstractAlthough the craniofacial changes associated with TAS are usually not life threatening, the syndrome is not benign. The mechanism of injury needed to create TAS is sufficient to warrant extreme caution in the approach to these patients. It is vital for the physician to recognize the pathophysiology of the injury pattern and to remain cognizant of the high likelihood of potentially lethal associated injuries. Aggressive and directed management of the cardiopulmonary systems coupled with prompt recognition and treatment of associated injuries is essential for optimal patient outcome.
