For a long time we know that it is possible to take out from the mouth a part or all the mandibule which presents a local malignant tumour. When the tumour is too extensed, the buccal aperture can be enlarged. The authors describe a new surgical technique which resolves this problem with notable and faithful advantages.
Sequelae of nose and orbito-oculo-palpebral destructions from a traumatic origin can present on the therepeutical level under various aspects according to the lesions observed. Accidental damages must indeed be treated by surgical and prosthetic means. The loss of the ocular globe and of its annexes make of these traumatisms an essentially plastic problem, difficult indeed but bringing about satisfactory issues on the whole.
The authors report a case of severe multiple trauma in which, as a result of the large number of complex injuries together with necessary therapeutic measures, the intra-cranial penetration of the mandibular condyle was unnoticed during the first months following the accident. They emphasize the discordance between the anatomical lesions and their clinical manifestations. Thus a complete radiological examination is necessary at a secondary stage in order to detect such lesions which, by contrast to that which might be supposed, are not obvious clinically. As far as treatment is concerned, rather than resorting to orthopaedic menoeuvres with imprecise traction and which, in any case, fail to resolve the entire problem. the authors recommend a combined maxillo-facial neurosurgical operation.
Among deep mycoses, sub-mocosal phycomycosis due to Entomophthora Cornata is of interest to stomatologists as it is mainly located in the middle and lower areas of the face. symptomatology is characterized in general by upper naso-labial deformation the extent of which is dependent on the stage of development reached. The only means of identifying the nature of the lesions is by biopsy which always enables diagnosis of deep mycosis to be made and sometimes, by means of a culture, identification of the agent responsible. This is a lower saprophytic fungus of decaying vegetable and telluric matter. It usually enters the body through the mucous membrane when there is a traumatic fissure. Ingress through the teeth should not be overlooked. Antifungal preparations and reconstructive surgery constitute the treatment early application of which determines prognosis.
