ABSTRACT
On the basis of experiences during 10 years with the cooperation of the departments of neurosurgery and maxillofacial surgery in the Province Hospital in Rzeszów the methods of surgical-orthopaedic management were assessed in craniofacial injuries. Out of 95 cases of craniofacial injuries treated in the years 1976-1985, in 42 cases (44.2%) nasal liquorrohea was present. For immobilization of the maxillary block in 32 cases Federspiel's traction was used, and in 5 cases interosseous binding of Adams. In 6 cases intermaxillary immobilization was applied. In this group of 42 cases of craniofacial injuries complicated with liquorrhoea in 24 (57.1%) liquorrhoea was stopped.

Basing on retrospective analysis of 542 case histories the causes producing purulent perimaxillary inflammation processes most frequently have been presented taking causal teeth, their treatment method and the state of periapical tissues into consideration. From the analysis of the material it follows that never-treated teeth with gangrenous pulp (46.3%) are the most frequent cause of perimaxillary abscess while the teeth treated endodontically were the cause of these pathologic states in 24.3% of the cases. The specific observations prove the results obtained by other authors, namely that the teeth treated endodontically without periapical inflammatory changes are rarely the cause of perimaxillary purulent processes.
