ABSTRACT
The thyroglossal duct cyst is the neck congenital abnormality most common in the childhood. Clinically, it shows itself as a solitary neck mass in the region of hyoid bone, it is painless and can be dislocated during de physical examination and tongue protrusion. The most common treatment is its removal through the Sistrunk technique. Patient with diagnosis of thyroglossal duct cyst in neck region with extension to the mouth floor was treated by total surgical removal through intraoral access. The intraoral approach to the treatment of the thyroglossal duct cyst showed itself practicable and permitted the total removal of the lesion with no recurrence signs.

The blowout fractures may be classified as pure or impure depending on the associated structures. There are 2 main theories attempting to describe the mechanism of injury, the hydraulic, and blocking mechanism. The complications of this type of fracture may involve diplopia, enophthalmos, and ocular movement restriction. Several materials are available for the reconstruction of orbital floor, including the titanium mesh, which present great properties, such as easy modeling and stabilization, small thickness, and shape maintenance. There, however, are disadvantages such as the possibility of adherence formation. The aim of this report is to describe the case of a patient with an 8-month blowout fracture sequel, presenting extensive enophthalmos and treated by affixing a titanium mesh associated with bovine pericardium membrane in the orbital floor. Therefore, based on a 2-year follow-up, it was possible to observe how effective the association between these 2 materials in solving the case was.

O granuloma central de células gigantes (GCCG) é uma lesão com predileção pelo sexo feminino, geralmente antes dos 30 anos, que se apresenta radiograficamente uni ou multilocular, mais frequentemente, em região anterior de mandíbula, podendo causar deslocamento dentário e reabsorção radicular, expansão ou destruição das corticais ósseas. As formas de tratamento incluem ressecção, curetagem, aplicações intralesionais de corticoides, calcitonina, interferon ou uma combinação de técnicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar o caso de um paciente portador de GCCG tratado através de injeções intralesionais de triancinolona seguidas de curetagem e ostectomia periférica... (AU)
Central giant cell granuloma (GCCG) is a lesion with a predilection for females, usually before the age of 30, which radiographically presents uni or multilocular, more frequently in the anterior region of the mandible, and may cause tooth displacement and root resorption, expansion or destruction of cortical bone. Forms of treatment include resection, curettage, intralesional applications of corticosteroids, calcitonin, interferon or a combination of techniques. The objective of this study is to report the case of a patient with GCCG treated with intralesional injections of triamcinolone followed by curettage and peripheral ostectomy... (AU)
