ABSTRACT
The authors report one case of neonatal dacryocystitis. They consider the diagnostic and therapeutic problems. One surgical intervention, with a large orifice of the lacrimal meatus, upon the catheter, with rhinoscopy, seems them the best solution, in this precise case.

The authors report their experience in the treatment of frontal sinus fractures, between 1979 and 1987, about 67 cases. --52% of these trauma involve alone, the anterior and/or posterior wall of the frontal sinus, with or without cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea; --the sinus surgery was composed of cranialization in 20 cases (30%) and open reduction with reconstruction, with or without tube to stent the nasofrontal duct, in 30 cases (48%). Two points appear to them, essential to guide the treatment: --osteomeningeal tear, --naso-frontal duct injury.

The authors explain the great rules of the nose and chin interventions, isolated or combined. They dwell on the value of a strict analysis of the nose and the whole facial structures. These operations called "profiloplasty" are executed on a balanced face, regarding to its skeletal basis.

The authors present two cases of parotid gland adenocarcinomas, without clinical swelling: revealed differently: one by facial paralysis; the other by mandibular extent signs, but setting altogether, some problems to explain their histogenesis; primitive or metastatic adenocarcinoma in the first observation; primary gland tumor, or transformation of a pleomorphic adenoma in the second one. The authors insist on the facial paralysis value, to guide the surgical approach.

The authors study the gangrenous cellulitis epidemiology, about 11 cases in a series of 118 odontogenic cellulitis. They insist on the frequency of the gangrenous development in old patients, and the importance of an early adapted antibiotic therapy for the vital and functional prognosis. A large surgery procedure is also necessary. At last, the ulterior treatment is depending all the more on the general signs evolution, as the local aspect.
