[Secondary reconstruction of the buccal floor by total skin graft after noninterruptive pelvimandibulectomy].

A technique of secondary reconstruction of the buccal floor after non-interruptive pelvimandibulectomy by thin-split skin graft enables insertion of a dental prosthesis to assist functional recovery. Results of 21 grafts of this type performed at the Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France are analyzed, this operative procedure enabling 14 of these patients to start taking solid food again.

[Muco-epidermoid carcinoma of the mandible. A case report (author's transl)].

Muco-epidermoid tumours are reviewed, and a case of a muco-epidermoid carcinoma of the mandible in a 78-year-old man reported. Radiological examination suggested the presence of an ameloblastoma, but the scanner provided evidence of a possible malignant tumour. Diagnosis of a muco-epidermoid carcinoma was confirmed by pathological examination after hemimandibulectomy.

[Intra-arterial chemotherapy for the treatment of tumors of the nasal sinuses. Results in 50 cases (author's transl)].

Fifty patients with primary epidermoid carcinomas of the nasal sinuses were treated by intra-arterial chemotherapy, alone (2 fatal iatrogenic accidents occurred) or in association with surgery and/or radiotherapy (48 cases). Adverse reactions due to chemotherapy were noted in 11 patients (22%), and two of these were fatal (4%). In eleven patients (22%) the initial curative chemotherapy was unsuccessful and all died after a mean survival period of 12 months. Local recurrence was observed in 7 patients (14%), the mean survival period being 11,5 months, and in 6 patients (12%) with local glandular involvement the mean period was 15 months. Identical survival rates of 57% after 3 years (8/14) and 50% after 5 years (6/12) were observed in 14 cases with endosinusal forms and 14 patients in whom the infrastructures were treated. In 22 patients there was exteriorization of the lesion, and the survival rate was 31% after 3 years (7/22) and 15% after 5 years (3/19). All 7 patients with pterygomaxillary lesions died within 3 years. Overall results in the 50 patients treated show that: -- 23/50 (46%) survived for 3 years -- 15/43 (35%) for 5 years -- 5/19 (26%) for 10 years.

[Hepatic schistosomiasis and sarcoidosis with voluminous subdiaphragmatic adenopathies].

The authors report a case of a West-Indian with sarcoidosis and peripheral, mediastinal and, above all, sub-diaphragmatic lymph nodes. The latter were very large and palpable through the abdomen, confirmed by lymphography and found to be due to S. Mansomi schistosomiasis. Liver biopsy carried out under peritoneoscopy, showed schistosomal granulomatosis with sarcoidosic granulomatosis. The authors consider that the rareness of this association is only apparent and does not correspond to the frequency of bilharziasis nor that of sarcoidosis in these subjects. They emphasize the mistakes which may result in interpretation of liver biopsy. They recall a few special characteristics of sarcoidosis in West-Indians, in particular, the possibility of failure of corticosteroid therapy as in their case, due to the onset of miliary lung disease under treatment, and show the lymphographic appearances of sarcoidosis.

[Study of fetal heart rate in deliveries complicated by fetal acidosis].

A study has been carried out on the parameters of the graph of the fetal heart rate (the basal rate and dips) in 44 cases of acute fetal distress with a pH lower than 7.2 in the blood and in 30 normal deliveries. The statistical analysis confirms that there is a significant rise in the number of heart rate abnormalities such as persistent bradycardia or persistent tachycardia and with dips during deliveries with fetal acidosis. The frequency of these abnormalities increases with the degree of acidosis. Sometimes the abnormalities in the fetal heart rate precede the appearance of the acidosis. All the same the discovery of these abnormalities does not by itself make a precise diagnosis of fetal distress because we do find these abnormalities in a certain number of cases even in normal deliveries. Only measuring fetal pH at a definite time can establish the diagnosis of fetal distress and the severity of the condition.
