Summary: | Traffic accidents have been a public health problem in the fastest growing in Brazil and the world, especially motorcycles. In addition to the high mortality rates, also include injuries and sequelae caused the crash survivors. The face injuries are common in this type of accident causing aesthetic and functional deformities in the face, requiring rehabilitation. A search of the literature was performed to map the lesions in the craniofacial region resulting from traffic accidents per motorcycle, also seeking their possible implications for Human Communication. The Pubmed, Lilacs and SciELO data were accessed by selecting the articles by title, then by abstract, to the end select the articles for reading in full. After this process, 10 studies were selected for review. In the facial region, the most frequent were fractures in the bones of the jaw, and Nasal Zygomatic, being the most prominent in the region. Stood out as the Cranial Trauma injuries more severe, since they can lead to death. Despite the breakdown of injuries, sequelae and data on the rehabilitation of the victims of accidents caused by motorcycles were rare in the literature. KEYWORDS: Accidents, Traffic; Motorcycles; Wounds and Injuries; Facial Injuries Os acidentes de transito tem constituido um problema de saude publica que mais cresce no Brasil e no mundo, com destaque para as motocicletas. Alem dos altos indices de mortalidade, destacam-se tambem as lesoes e sequelas causadas aos sobreviventes ao acidente. As lesoes de face sao comuns neste tipo de acidente, causando deformidades esteticas e funcionais no rosto, necessitando de reabilitacao. Foi realizada uma busca na literatura para mapear as lesoes na regiao craniofacial decorrentes de acidentes de transito por motocicleta, buscando tambem suas possiveis implicacoes para a Comunicacao Humana. As bases de dados Pubmed, Lilacs e Scielo foram acessadas, selecionando os artigos pelos titulos, em seguida pelos resumos, para ao final selecionar os artigos para leitura na integra. Apos este processo, foram selecionados 10 estudos para a revisao. Na regiao facial, as fraturas mais frequentes foram nos ossos da Mandibula, Zigomatico e Nasal, por serem os mais proeminentes na regiao. Destacaram-se os Traumas Cranianos como os tipos de lesoes com maior gravidade, uma vez que podem levar ao obito. Apesar do detalhamento das lesoes, as sequelas e dados sobre a reabilitacao dessas vitimas de acidentes por motocicletas foram raros na literatura.
