[Facial motor lesion after surgery of the parotid gland].

The authors report a retrospective study of 351 parotidectomies observed during a 28 years period. The average follow-up is 28 months. Preoperative and post-operative facial nerve function, type of parotidectomy, surgical management of facial nerve and histologic diagnosis according to the revised WHO classification (1990) are presented.

[Diagnostic perspectives in rhinology].

The physical evaluation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses has been improved by recent advances in diagnostic endoscopic systems and computerized tomography. Today, nasal endoscopy is considered to be the only comprehensive diagnostic rhinoscopic examination and computerized tomography has replaced the standard plain film roentgenograms in the initial evaluation of the paranasal sinuses. Advances have also been made in the evaluation of nasal functions, particularly in the assessment of obstruction.

[Sinus mucoceles: diagnostic and surgical aspects (apropos of 8 cases treated with rhino-surgical endoscopy)].

Sinus mucoceles are benign and expansive pseudocystic formations situated in the paranasal sinuses. Their pathogenicity is still misunderstood. Clinical signs are multiple and often delayed due to tumour localisation.

[Vertigo and diving].

The appearance of a vertigo during scuba-diving result from different pathophysiological mechanism at which oppose specific therapeutic. Whether it's during barotrauma or decompression accident, the vestibular reach can cause drowning. It is possible to make the difference between barotrauma and decompression accident, with the good study of the scuba-diving and the time when the vertigo has came.
