[Midline congenital fistulas of the nose. Fourteen cases (author's transl)].

The authors report 14 cases of midline congenital fistulas of the nose. Early diagnosis of the abnormality and its deep prolongations are necessary in order to avoid delayed presentation by infectious complications, which may be grave. Anteroposterior tomograms, in Gosserez view, in general provide precise information concerning the extent. In order to limit aesthetic problems, surgical treatment, without prejudice to total excision, should give preference to concealed transcolumellar incisions extended if necessary to the nostrils. This approach offers extensive manaeuvrability and makes it possible to perform a rhinoplasty if necessary.

[Radiological examination of the temporo-mandibular joint. Basic principles (author's transl)].

Radiological examination of the temporo-mandibular joint remains technically difficult. Standard views using usual X-ray techniques are inadequate. Preference must be given to selective tomography (sagittal, frontal or even axial) after determination of the axis of the condyles on a Hirtz position film. In certain cases, arthrography may also make it possible to define the contours of joint surfaces not seen on plain films. Radiocinematography is little used.

[Thyroid metastases of digestive carcinomas (author's transl)].

The authors report a case of thyroid metastasis of a rectal carcinoma 9 years after excision of the primary tumour. They study the prevalence of thyroid secondary localisations of the chief primary tumours responsible, the time before appearance of the metastasis, and clinical and histological features on the basis of cases reported in the literature. They then describe the pathogenic factors and criteria in prognosis which is always grave, as a result of the dissemination of metastases.
