[Stomatitis and antimitotics (author's transl)].

The authors report a case of stomatitis, in a patient receiving antimitotic therapy, which was found to be due to an acute leukosis. They feel that patients on antimitotics who develop stomatitis should have a white cell count to exclude leukosis, which is not a very rare finding today.

Antineoplastic Agents↗

[Cervical and cervicodorsal flaps. Vascularisation. Surgical applications (author's transl)].

The authors used injected anatomical specimens to analyse the cutaneous vascular distribution of the cervical and cervicodorsal regions. The arrangement of the arterial network does not make it possible to define flaps with a vascular pedicle. Only the jugular vein may be used as the axis for such a flap. The most valuable flaps, in everyday practice, are transverse flaps, a vertical flap pediculated on the external jugular and the cervicodorsal flap used without autonomisation. The combined musculocutaneous flap, including the sternocleidomastoid, is used in the treatment of extensive loss of laterofacial substance.

[Calification of the dental system in dialized patients].

The authors present the case of an eight-years-old child, dialysed since the age of two following a bilateral nephrectomy. The chronological appearance of the teeth was not disturbed. By contrast, there was a delay in mineralisation of the dental organ, and in particular the root. There was lysis of the alveolar bone, resulting in a parodontopathy. The authors distinguish two ages in the effects of dialysis: the first period is that of the construction of the dental system and the second is the adult age at which the dental system is constituted.

Acute Kidney Injury↗

[Esthesioneurocytoma of the upper jaw].

The authors present a new case of aesthesioneurocytoma with an atypical localisation. They review the clinical, radiological and histological features of these tumours. They stress the importance of mixed surgical/radiotherapy treatment and suggest the desirability of routine estimation before and after treatment of U. M. A. and U. V. A. Dopamine in the urine.

[Recurrence factors in the surgical treatment of prognathism of the mandible].

With regard to recurrences following surgery for prognathia of the mandible, the authors draw the distinction between immediate and secondary recurrences caused by errors in surgical indication or technique. They then review late recurrences, which they classify as being alveolar, basal or by forward sliding. They then study the role played in recurrences by growth of the condyle, neuromuscular balance and the hyoid suspensor system. Finally they stress the action of the tongue and the age factor (over 17 years being, in their view, desirable).

Adolescent↗

[Semeiologic meaning of dilatation of the dental canal].

The authors report two cases of dilatation of the dental canal due to metastases. They review the clinical picture of dilatations of the dental canal which, other than being related to metastases, may be secondary to a haemangioma or a neurofibroma. They express the desire that measurements may be helpful in considering cases at the limit of normal, as for the internal auditory meatus and the optic canals.

Adult↗

[The mandible in labio-maxillary clefts].

The writers have studied mandibular anomalies in a series of 20 surgically treated clefts. Anomalies of shape occur in one case out of two and are in the form of a mandible which is too long. Anomalies of position most often show a mandible in front of the maxillary and to the rear in comparison to the base of the skull.

Adolescent↗

[Mesiodens and heredity].

The authors describe the case of mesiodens in two non-identical twins and in their grandfather. They recall that, although no investigation confirmed the hereditary nature of the mesiodens, it is quite undeniable in view of the frequency of familial cases. They think there is a recessive gene on an autosome and a gene on the inhibiting chromosome X. They discount the theory of mutation.

Adolescent↗

[Permanent jaw constriction of extra-articular origin].

The authors describe a new case of permanent constriction of extra-articular osseous origin. They consider the classical distinction between constrictions due to traumatism and those due to malformation (O. Jacob's disease) debatable, for this malformation is usually secondary to traumatism. They also think that the osteoma responsible for constriction may be considered a localisation of neurogenic para-osteoarthropathies.

Adult↗

[Mandibular metastasis disclosing a primary cancer of the liver].

The authors describe a new case of mandibular metastasis of a hepatome. They recall that these metastases indicate tumour and that they are generally haemorrhagic. Diagnosis is confirmed by means of biopsy, but the scanner or echotomography and angiography reveal the primary lesion. Investigation using marked technetium pyrophosphate is essential to screen for further osseous lesions.
