[Cleft lip: apropos of 80 cases].

Patient, with cleft lip do not go unnoticed because the malformation is obvious. But in our countries it's not rare to receive some teenagers and even adults with cleft lip: among the patients of our series 20% were more than 14 years old. Cleft lip was unilateral in 92.5% of the cases. All these patients were operated on by a same E.N.T. specialist's team using a same method: the modified rotation--advancement of MILLARD Results were judged good in 85% of the cases. Minimum fare of malformation must begin at birth by many specialist.

Adolescent

[Problems with carotid chemodectomas].

The authors report on their initial observation of a Shamblin Type I carotid body chemodectoma. Surgical exeresis was complete and relatively easy even though the diagnosis has been carried out in the open air. They take the opportunity to discuss diagnostic, therapeutic, evolutional and nosological problems connected with this rare neoplasm.

Aged

[Unusual account of a foreign body in the oropharynx].

Foreign bodies in the oropharynx rarely pose problems either in diagnosis or treatment, but the authors found it very interesting to report the following unusual case concerning a vegetable foreign body which entered the oropharynx and came out 4 weeks later via the external auditory canal.

Abscess

[Ethmoidal-frontal osteomas (report of 9 cases)].

Ethmoido-frontal osteomas, slowly-evolving, benign, bone tumours, are being studied anew, especially from a surgical point of view. Asymptomatic for a long period, they can be detected from bone tumour and ophthalmological manifestations (60% of the cases). An X-ray renders the diagnostic almost certain. ORL access is satisfactory in the great majority of cases, and controlled milling of the osteoma, according to BOURDIAL (1972) is the best means of removal. For the 9 cases observed, post operational follow-up was always straightforward.
