In 42 children aged 2 months to 16 years who had foreign bodies and blind wounds in the maxillofacial region, the authors examined the causes of damages which had caused penetration of foreign bodies into this anatomical part. Clinical examinations showed that there was a relationship between age, the nature of damage, and the variety of foreign bodies in children in contrast to adults. A working scheme was proposed, which reflects the nature of foreign bodies and blind maxillofacial wounds depending on the physiological periods of childhood.
