“…In our analysis, the main causes of road traffic accidents were primarily related to motorcycle collisions, representing 31.32% of cases, followed by motorcycle skidding incidents, with a percentage of 24.43%. Thus, authors in India, Guinea, and Benin have reported higher proportions, respectively 60.2%, 67.5%, and 80% of cases related to road traffic accidents involving motorcycles [8] [9] [10]. This trend could be explained not only by risky behaviors when riding motorcycles without a license but also by the increasing proliferation of these two-wheeled vehicles in this area in recent years.…”

The objective of this study was to conduct an epidemiological and clinical analysis of ORL and cervicofacial injuries observed in victims of road accidents treated at the Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) department of the Regional Hospital of Mamou. Materials and Methods: This prospective and descriptive study was conducted over a period of 12 months, from January 1st to December 31st, 2021, within the Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) department of the Regional Hospital of Mamou. It included patients hospitalized for ORL and/or cervicofacial traumas resulting from road accidents during the study period. Results: A total of 348 cases were included, representing 36.22% of all traumas related to road accidents (AVP) within the Regional Hospital of Mamou. The average age of the patients was 26.44 years, with a sex ratio of 3.83, favoring males. The dominant socio-professional category was students, encompassing 32.47% of cases.
