ABSTRACT
In 1957, Plester and Thorburn, independently, published their first reports on surgical correction of posttraumatic ossicular lesions. A large number of papers have appeared on this subject. The authors report their experience of 22 cases of traumatic ossicular lesion operated at ENT and Oto-Neurology Department of Lille University.

In "intact" canal wall tympanoplasty, recurrent disease and retraction pockets must be avoided by repair of attic or lateral defects. Between 1983 and 1986, the authors used septal cartilage homograft in 38 cases and mastoid bone autograft in 47 cases. The uniqueness of the last technique is the preservation of fibroperiosteum with the cortical bone shaving, allowing a good adaptability in the defect. Histologic studies, clinical follow up and operative evaluation in case of second look intervention allows discussion on advantages and disadvantages of the two materials. The tolerance is good. The two procedures are variable and reliable in 80% of cases.

These are cysts and fistulae which closely adherent to the external auditory canal and drain through the high lateral cervical suprahyoid site. Misdiagnosis is common with these lesions and inadequate removal leads to surgical failure. A review of the embryology of this region is necessary since we intend to explain the clinical aspects and the variable relationship to the facial nerve. Eight cases are described and the literature pertaining to first branchial cleft syndrome is reviewed. Diagnostic and management problems will be discussed. A full exposure of the parotid gland and facial nerve is essential to complete removal and facial nerve preservation.

From the description of a nasal giant bleeding polyp developed during pregnancy, the authors insist on the similitudes between nasal and gingival lesions that are to be connected with a particular hormonal climate.
