[General review of parasitoses involving the maxillofacial region].

All the parasitic diseases which may affect the face and the mouth are reviewed. Protozoan and helminths infections are described as well as arthropod bites and envenomation by other animals. Protozoan infections of interest to the oral and maxillofacial specialist are leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, cutaneous amebiasis, and toxoplasmosis. Helminth infections are due to nematodes, trematodes, and cestodes. Nematoda (true roundworm) infections include ankylostomiasis, strongyloidiasis, gnathostomiasis, gongylonemiasis, trichinosis, dracunculosis, loaiasis, filariasis, dirofilariasis, and onchocerciasis. Only schistosomiasis has to be considered in Trematoda (flukes) infections. Cestoda (tapeworms) infections are cysticercosis, equinococcosis, and sparganosis. Finally, episodic bites and stings to the face, by arthropods (spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions, etc.) and many other venomous animals are also possible.

[Possible oral traumatic and infectious risks in sexual relations].

Oro-genital and oro-anal practices have nowadays extended to the mouth the scope of clinical signs of previously pure venereal diseases. Through the description of the clinical oro-pharyngeal manifestations of these diseases, this paper is intended only to stress the possibilities nowadays of these diagnoses. Described in this paper are the traumas, and bacterial, viral and mycotic infections that may now affect the mouth after sexual practice.

The diagnostic limitations of ultrasonography in maxillofacial surgery.

The records of 63 patients having had ultrasound examinations with grey-scale B-mode scanners have been reviewed, to determine what contribution ultrasound made to the diagnosis of superficial maxillofacial masses, when compared with clinical examination and other methods of investigation. Most of the ultrasound parameters described in the literature are found in the cases we have examined. Despite the fact that the ultrasound image is often compatible with the disease, diagnosis using ultrasound was much less accurate than expected. From this series, it is concluded that ultrasound examination is not recommended for the diagnosis of all maxillofacial pathology, especially when the echographist has no special experience in this field of pathology, when ultrasound findings are not correlated with clinical ones, and when the ultrasound report is not precise and exhaustive.

[Inverted papilloma. A rare diagnosis for the maxillofacial surgeon].

Inverted papilloma or schneiderian papilloma is a benign unilateral tumor of the nose and paranasal sinuses affecting chiefly the males aged between 40 and 70. Diagnosis is made with biopsy and limits are ascertained with CT scan. Growth tumor is slow and clinical signs are mainly functional. The tumor has a propensity for malignant transformation (5 to 15%). After treatment, there is a high recurrence rate, of more than 50%. That is why surgical local excision must be wide and rather aggressive, at best through a lateral rhinotomy.
