Pediatric Craniomaxillofacial Pathology
This issue of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America focuses on the contemporary management of pathologic lesions involving the craniomaxillofacial region in children and adolescents. Craniomaxillofacial lesions in children can have a multitude of etiologies and can be broadly classified as benign, benign with aggressive features, or malignant.

Conceptual Principles in Pediatric Craniomaxillofacial Reconstruction
Pediatric craniomaxillofacial reconstruction must be approached through the lens of growth and durability. A systematic approach of matching defects to donor tissue drives the selection of autologous donor material. The menu of available techniques for reconstruction can be organized in a ladder, similar to adults, with additional considerations. Reconstructive surgeons have the opportunity to promote and maintain young patients ’ sense of identity during their psychosocial development. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics)

Pediatric Orbital and Skull Base Pathology
Pediatric orbital and skull base pathologies encompass a spectrum of inflammatory, sporadic, syndromic, and neoplastic processes that require a broad and complex clinical approach for both medical and surgical treatment. Given their complexity and often multicompartment involvement, a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis, patient and family counseling, and ultimately treatment provides the best patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. Advances in minimally invasive surgical approaches, including endoscopic endonasal and transorbital approaches allows for more targeted surgical approaches through smaller corridors be...
