Unexpected rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria in a patient in the supine position.

We report a case of post-operative rhabdomyolysis following transmandibular buccopharyngectomy without reconstruction in a patient remaining in the supine position throughout the procedure. Muscle compression induced by a cushion used during the procedure had probably contributed to the rhabdomyolysis. Outcome was favourable without acute renal failure. Prevention, early diagnosis and treatment are the keys to a successful recovery.

[Laryngeal mask and reduction of nasal bone fractures].

A retrospective study was conducted in 116 patients who underwent anesthesia for reduction of nasal fracture under laryngeal mask for ventilation and protection of the airways. One patient had secondary intubation due to difficult insertion of the laryngeal mask. No episode of hypoxemia related to blood inhalation occurred. The laryngeal mask may be proposed to maintain the airway in this surgical procedure.

[Irreversible bilateral blindness after functional neck dissection. Apropos of a case and a review of the literature].

Postoperative blindness due to ischemic optic neuropathy is a rare and dramatic complication. A review of the literature from 1960 until nowadays reveal several physiopathological mechanisms of the blindness. Through the description of their clinic case of a fourty seven years old man showing definitive postoperative blindness after sustaining surgery for epidermoid carcinoma of the mouth floor, the authors suggest as etiology the conjunction of the following factors: brain venous high pressure, head and neck oedema, hypotension and the vascular state of the patient. Special perioperative care taking in account the risk factors is needed to prevent this complication.

[Type IIb primary hyperlipoproteinemia. An homogenous series of 412 cases].

On the basis of a homogeneous series of 412 cases of type IIb primary hyperlipoproteinaemia, the authors compare their experience with findings in the literature. The prevalence of this type of hyperlipoproteinaemia in the general population has been underestimated at 3%. Biological diagnosis remains simple (identification of a double and distinct excess in beta and pre beta lipoproteins). Extravascular lipid deposits (gerontoxon, xanthelasma, tendon xanthomata) are not type specific. Hyperlipidaemic syndrome is rare. Above all, the importance of type IIb in atheromatous disease in the young subject now seems obvious. The mode of hereditary transmission of the familial anomaly is not certain but would appear to be often associated with a double heterozygote condition.
