Abstract
Traumatic herniation of buccal fat pad is rare condition. We herein report a case of traumatic herniation of buccal fat pad caused by sticking toothbrush. Three-year-old boy was injured by falling down with a toothbrush in his mouth. He was admitted hemorrhage, and his mother took him to our department. The hemorrhage had been stopping, but the buccal fat pad extruded into the oral cavity. On the same day, we excised the buccal fat pad and stitched up the wound under the general anesthesia. His clinical course was uneventful and postoperative abscess formation was not observed. To prevent such injuries, we must inform the parents of the danger during brushing the teeth.
