[The transfacial flap in surgery of tumors of the middle and posterior 3d of the face and base of the skull. Its use as a means of approach and reconstruction].

A transfacial approach and the use of a bone flap allows exeresis of large tumors of middle and posterior third of face and of base of skull. The procedure can be used alone or associated with a neurosurgical approach to the lesions. This wide surgical approach increases the possibility of a complete excision under conditions of strict hemostasis. Replacement of the bone flap at the end of surgery restores skeletal reliefs ad integrum with excellent esthetic results. The technique is described in detail and several examples of its use outtined.

Adenocarcinoma↗

[Approach to the pterygomaxillary region by the Lefort I osteotomy].

Approach to the pterygomaxillary fossa under the base of skull, a difficult operation, has been facilitated by the use of a technique derived from the Lefort I osteotomy. Satisfactory access to the fossa and to the posterior-base region is obtained and esthetic or functional sequelae avoided.

Arteriovenous Malformations↗

[Labial incompetence and maxillodental dysmorphosis].

A definition of labial incompetence is given and emptrasis placed on the fact that this is a symptom of maxillodental dysmorphism (MDD) and not of nasal dyspermeability. Pathogenic features are discussed, the relevant clinical and paraclinical diagnostic features of MDD outlined, and the different alveolodental and/or bony (maxillary or mandibular) dysmorphias responsible for labial incompetence described. Principles of orthodontic and surgical treatment are centered on re-establishment of a correct articulation and therefore labial competence.

Alveolar Process↗

[Tumors and vascular malformations of the larynx. Angiographic aspects and therapeutic indications].

Satisfactory results were obtained in a case of laryngeal paraganglioma following surgery preceded by angiography and embolization. Clinical, arteriographic and histologic features of vascular malformations of the larynx are discussed, localized and isolated laryngeal angiomas being distinguished from those classified among cervicofacial angiodysplasias. Laryngeal vascular malformations are all capillarovenous angiomas. Treatment has been facilitated by the availability of arteriography and embolization methods, and consists of injections of a sclerosing agent (such as "ethybloc") together with surgery in some cases.

The treatment of capillary-venous malformations using a new fibrosing agent.

We present our early experience in the treatment of cutaneous capillary-venous malformations using a new fibrosing agent called Ethibloc. Superselective angiography was used to delineate the vascular anomaly and effect temporary occlusion. Whenever possible, compression of venous outflow also was used, while the sclerosing agent was injected directly into the malformation by percutaneous puncture. Sixteen patients with capillary-venous malformations have been treated with this agent since 1979. A mild local inflammatory reaction was noted in some cases; there were no instances of skin necrosis. In 10 patients, the fibrosed vascular malformation was excised, and in 6 patients, the area of vascular anomaly decompressed to such a degree that resection was unnecessary.

[Hypoglossofacial anastomois. Analysis and results on 12 cases and comparison with results of facio facial anastomosis].

Regular facial clinical testing (G. Freyss) and surface integrated electromyography was employed to quantitatively assess the course of 12 hypoglossofacial anastomoses. Recovery was complete after an average period of 4 months, the time before conducting anastomosis (2 to 14 months after onset of facial paralysis) not affecting the quality of results obtained. Age significantly influenced recuperation of remaining tone, but this was always superior to 70 p. cent in relation to the other half of the face. Motor recovery was not affected by age, and was a mean of 51 p. cent after one year (50 to 70 p. cent when compared with the normal half of the face). Lingual sequelae were minimal, early physical therapy compensating for the inevitable resulting synkinesis. Results after hypoglossofacial anastomosis are compared with those obtained by faciofacial anastomoses (published in 1980). The former is a simpler and more rapid technique which produces more constant results and leads to earlier recovery (4 instead of 9 months after faciofacial anastomosis. Tone is also improved and motility satisfactory.

Place of embolization in the treatment of severe epistaxis.

On the basis of long-term study on embolization for severe epistaxis, the authors show the different indications and results of this relatively new method; and 54 cases are presented including Rendu-Osler diseases, primary and traumatic epistaxis, or those due to vascular malformation and benign or malignant tumors. Embolization can prove a very effective method in most cases.
