[The use of an alcohol gel of ethyl cellulose in the treatment of venous malformations].

Absolute alcohol is the most effective treatment of venous malformations. We created an alcoholic sclerosing solution less diffusible and we report a preliminary study on 6 patients. The viscosity of the alcohol was enhanced with ethylcellulose and we treated 7 patients with VM. Two benign skin ulcerations were observed and one patient with a large VM of the face could be treated around the eyes in a dangerous area. The results are encouraging and a larger study is being performed.

[Diagnostic difficulties of chondrosarcoma of the jaw. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].

Chondrosarcoma is an uncommon malignant mesenchymal tumor characterized by the production of cartilaginous tissue and the absence of production of bone tissue. Maxillary and mandibular localizations are extremely rare and have a poor prognosis. The clinical and radiographic findings are similar to those seen in other tumors of the jaw, often delaying diagnosis and treatment and subsequently jeopardizing prognosis. In the literature, the mean delay from first clinical signs to diagnosis is about 8 months. As in all tumoral diseases, pathology confirms the diagnosis. We report a case of chondrosarcoma of the maxillary bone and review the literature, focusing on the difficulty in establishing the diagnosis, even at the pathology examination. We propose wide surgical excision, which, in agreement with other reports in the literature, is the only therapeutic possibility. We observed no sign of recurrence at 5-year follow-up. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be useful in certain cases.

[Functional complementation of intra- and extra-oral implants. Apropos of a case of extensive loss of substance of the face].

The respective indications for oral or extra-oral implants lead to no confusion: stabilization of dental prostheses for the first, stabilization of maxilo-facial epitheses for the others. We demonstrate that the complementarity of the two types of implants can prove to be very useful in maintaining the maxillary dental prosthesis and the epithesis in a case of severe loss of facial substance affecting particularly the pre-maxilla. This complementary characteristic made it possible to recover fairly rapidly phonation and deglutition, and to remedy somewhat the esthetic damage. In other words to create the essential conditions for a return to everyday life.

[Intramuscular capillary-venous angioma extending into the infratemporal fossa. Apropos of a case].

A rapidly growing tumor in the temporal area extended into the infratemporal fossa. Imaging findings favored a hypervascularized meningo-sarcoma type extracranial tumor, but the pathology report on the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of capillaro-venous angioma. The therapeutic approach was preoperative hyperselective embolization then access via the temporal and infra-temporal fossa for simple tumor exeresis. Mature angiomas and access via the infra-temporal fossa are reviewed.

[Psychological profile of suicide using firearms to the face. Review of the literature. Our experiences at the university hospital center at Caen].

We studied the psychological feature of subjects who attempted suicide with firearms. This retrospective study included 36 cases of "facial suicide" treated at the Caen University Hospital since 1981 and data in the literature. An analysis of the different parameters showed in several cases, that this population is different from the others, particularly hospitalized drug overdose suicide patients. Two notions were particularly remarkable in these patients: history of patients psychiatric disorders were very rare and recurrent suicide attempts.

[Horton's disease: facial manifestations].

Facial manifestations due to giant cell arteritis are analysed about 102 cases. The whole facial vascular territories are involved, so we have many manifestations. Diagnosis depends on artery biopsy with Doppler aid.
