ABSTRACT
Having on base a wide and selective review of the literature, it has seemed to us interesting to detail the infective pathology on this location or sometimes occurring. This region is, as well will see, the seat of a rich pathology. We pretend on the other hand to reassess the importance of the meticulous examination of the oral cavity in "systemic problems". We describe the palatal infections divided in four groups: bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitory, according to the causal agent. We review the palatine manifestations of other fewer current syndromes as well.

Blunt injury of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare entity that should be considered by Maxillofacial surgeons in patients with facial fractures. Its recognition is often delayed because of the common association with other severe multi-system injuries. Early diagnosis is the key to successful management; the arteriography plays a confirmatory role on the diagnosis and determines whether surgical management of the injury is feasible. Therapeutic alternatives vary from one center to another; they include observation, conservative treatment, anticoagulation, ligation of the carotid artery with or without extracranial-intracranial bypass, and arterial reconstruction.
