Injuries are the most serious health risk in children. Injuries are the main cause of death and long term disabilities in children. Fortunately, stab wounds in children are very rare in our country, but they are, in most cases, very serious injuries. Presenting 3 case reports, this article aims to show the danger of stab wounds and how easily sharp objects can penetrate human tissue.
