[Bone banks: medicolegal aspects].

Heterologous bone grafting has increased considerably due to improved preservation and the development of bone banks. We analyzed the forensic aspects of organ procurement, transformation, processing and preservation specifically related to bone grafts. Topics considered included the organization of the responsible authorities and their activities in the context of ethical medical considerations. The surgeon is often faced with a complex heterogeneous situation without clear legal requirements.

[Temporomandibular ankylosis: an analysis of hospital records and a review of the recent literature].

Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint has severe consequences due to its effect on eating, speaking, buccal hygiene and growth of the lower third of the face in children. Two therapeutic problems must be addressed: functional capacity (joint mobility) and morphological (correction of the facial deformation). The appropriate surgical techniques are still subject to debate. Each operator has a technique which gives satisfactory results. In our unit, we used two techniques with similar results. Early and prolonged rehabilitation still remains the only guarantee of success.

[Isolated sub-orbital plexiform neurofibroma].

An unexpected finding on histology in a 73 years old patient was an isolated suborbital plexiform neurofibroma. Since this tumor is specific for von Recklinghausen's disease, the diagnosis was that of a minor form of the disease. The different cephalic manifestations of von Recklinghausen's disease are reviewed.

[Apparently primary malignant cervical adenopathy].

Despite a thorough examination it is not always possible to detect the primary cancer responsible for malignant cervical adenopathy. In the vast majority of cases the metastases arise from an epidermoid carcinoma of the upper respiratory or digestive tract. A possible diagnostic, but also therapeutic procedure is exploratory cervicotomy with extemporaneous examination. The prognosis is poor, both locally (glandular involvement) and generally (metastatic spread).
