[Biologic bases of musculo-cutaneous flaps most frequently used in cervico-maxillo-facial surgery].

An anatomical investigation on the vascular supply to "Pectoralis major", "Trapezius lateralis" and "Latissimus dorsi" muscolo-cutaneous flaps is presented. The AA. call particular attention to the vascular supply of the cutis going beyond the muscular borders. In this way we can determine the maximal width of the flap it is possible to achieve, without previous autonomization and without trophic problems.

[Békésy audiometry at suprathreshold level in sensorineural bearing losses (author's transl)].

In order to study the suprathreshold hearing phenomena for a differential diagnosis of sensorineural hearing losses Békésy Audiometry has been used at two different levels: a) Békésy threshold level; b) Békésy comfortable level. Are considered: the tracing's amplitude; the continuous decay; the gap between the two different threshold levels. Results has demonstrated that Békésy comfortable level give substantial contribution as decay test and as indirect recruitment test.

[Fistulae and congenital cysts of dorsum of the nose. Report of a case (author's transl)].

The Authors, after a brief review of the literature concerning the congenital fistulae and cysts of the nasal dorsum with special regard to the etiology, pathology, diagnosis and therapy, report a personal case of such fistulae in a 15 year old male. They stress importanct, for an accurate diagnosis, of radiography and fistulography and reccomend, radical surgery.

[Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint].

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon monoarticular proliferative disease of the synovium characterized by loose bodies developed in the synovial membrane. The literature is reviewed and two cases of synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint characterized by swelling, pain and limitation of mandibular movement are reported. Radiographic evidence of loose bodies may or may not be present. Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) might be helpful in the diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis. The treatment of choice of synovial chondromatosis is surgical and the loose bodies should be removed by arthrotomy with examination of the joint cavity. In our patients, no recurrence had occurred according to other authors' experience.

[Hearing changes in patients with cleft lip and palate: clinico-statistical contribution].

The otological complications which may occur in subjects with cleft lip and palate due to middle ear and tubal impairment related to velopharyngeal musculature are discussed. Three groups of patients aged 3-15 years have been submitted to clinical examination, audiometry and impedance measurement. In 2/3 of cases there was hearing impairment between 20-40 dB and 72% out of children younger than 8 years a pathological tymponometric curve was observed. These results confirm the positive relationship between cleft palate and hearing impairment and suggest that these children must be followed-up very carefully in oder to prevent middle ear and tubal alterations.
