Ensemble cranio-facial : equilibre architectural de 95 individus ivoiriens

"Afin de determiner un equilibre architectural de 95 individus ivoiriens de sexe masculin ayant une bonne occlusion et de bons rapports alveolo-dentaires; l'etude de l'ensemble cranio-facial par l'analyse de DELAIRE confirme bien le merite de cette analyse et permet d'objectiver; de quantifier les variations d'equilibre d'un sujet examine. Cette analyse n'a permis aux auteurs de donner ni des ""normes"" des angles ni des segments. Elle ne peut alors se passer de l'etude structurale a savoir des structures molles"

[Traumatic lesions of the parotid salivary system. 15 cases (author's transl)]. / Lésions traumatiques de l'appareil salivaire parotidien. A propos de 15 observations.

On the basis of 15 cases, the authors define their attitude to traumatic lesions of the parotid salivary system. In the first place, such lesions must be accurately diagnosed by careful examination and catheterisation of the papilla. This simple manoeuvre makes it possible to avoid emergency sialography. Secondly, treatment varies according to the type of lesion: with a lesion of the facial nerve, suture or nerve graft in the case of loss of substance; with a minimal parenchymatous lesion, observation is necessary after the avoidance of surgery or drainage; with a severe parenchymatous lesion, parotidectomy is necessary, with exploration of the facial nerve.
