The authors have reported about their experiences in the surgical treatment of orbital-frame. Champy plate osteosynthesis was performed in 11 cases for the surgical treatment of orbital frame fractures, which had considerably dislocation. The method is advised in the surgical treatment of middle-face fractures.
The reported 2 cases of processus styloideus syndrome deserve attention because of their rarity. In the case of complains of uncertain origin and radiating chiefly into the tongue also the processus styloideus syndrome is to be taken into consideration. With the surgical treatment, after having the diagnosis, a well treated illness can be separated from the group of those illnesses in which the main problem is facial pain.
Several years' observations with the muscle relaxant Mydeton (150 mg coated tablet) in the treatment of lockjaw of different etiology have been discussed. The trismus relieving action of the drug was proved by objective examinations. It has been concluded that Mydeton is of high therapeutic value in relieving muscular spasms of the maxillofocal region of different etiology and it may be used without risk in both hospitalized cases and outpatients.
A complicated case of a big vein injury associated with a maxillofacial gun-shot injury and its successful treatment are reported on. The course of the vein injury is explained and the significance of team work is emphasized.
A new pressure wave generator has been designed for the Storz Modulith extracorporeal lithotripter. It consists of an electromagnetic cylindrical pressure wave source and a focusing parabolic reflector. Focus size has been designed using electro-acoustic puls forming network (EA-PFN) techniques. Schlieren photographs of the pressure wave are shown. Pressure in the focus is given as a function of PFN charging voltage.
Authors describe their experience with the use of Champy plate, gained in their 19 cases, in the treatment of the fractures of the articular process. They had good results, and find the use of this method more favourable than the osteosynthesis with wire ligatures.
The parotis lipomas represent forms of interest and difficulties, above all, because of their rarity and preoperative differential diagnostics. Solution of the tumor is, in all cases, surgical extirpation which, if performed duely radically, excludes the possibility of a second attack.
A dental an omaly causing complaints is described which was cleared up in the course of focus examination. The successful removal and identification of the surplus small molar dens geminatum after clinical and x-ray examinations are reported on.
Observations of blow out fractures causing diplopy with m. rectus inf. pinching and their successful treatment are reported on. Importance of early recognizing and of correct diagnosis are emphasized. Because of the nature of injuries of such type and of the situation of traumatologic care the patients get mostly to traumatological, oral surgery departments where the troubles of eye movement are not always recognized since it can be eclipsed by an eyelid oedema or by periorbital haematoma. The surgeon is frequently confronted with an unsolvable task by relayed observation and forming cicatrization. Then, the healing results are significantly worse, than in our first case. In case of treating facial injuries the cooperation of the oculist, the laryngologist, the odontologist, the neurosurgeon is indispensable.
