Quantitative approach to study and document, exploratory and descriptive, which occurred in the city of Sobral, with 910 occurrences with motorcycles involving minors in the period 2005-2013, whose data were collected through research in the SAMU occurrence of leaves. The analysis was performed using SPSS, respecting the ethical principles of Resolution 466/12. RESULTS: There were 910 motorcycle accidents involving minors between the years 2005-2013, with 543 (59.7%) were male, 494 (54.3%) were aged 16-18 years old; 377 (41.4%) were motorcycle fall victims.

Pediatric Trauma Score in the age group of zero to 07 years was lower (01 points), when compared to other age groups. There were no differences in the Revised Trauma Score of the age groups studied. Among the variables that make up the PTS is highlighted musculoskeletal trauma (fractures and skin lesions) as gravity factor.
