A series of 3456 patients with malignant tumours of the maxillofacial region have been treated at the Clinic for Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery of the Military Medical Academy, Stomatological Clinic of the M.M.A. and Radiological Institute of Medical Faculty in Belgrade. The most frequent localization was lips and mucosa of the oral cavity, 77,9%. The irradiation therapy was applied in 42,3% of the patients and combined surgery and irradiation therapy in 28,6% Postirradiation changes of the oral cavity mucosa were found in 25% of the patients, teeth changes in 50% and Candida albicans was found in 56% of the patients. In order to prevent irradiation and postirradiation complications, all the patients with malignant tumours foressen for irradiation therapy should undergo a detailed stomatological examination and sanation of the oral cavity and teeth. The authors advocate team work in establishing the diagnosis and treating in which an important place should have stomatologist.

A young male with no known addictions and comorbidities presenting with recurrent clonic-myoclonic movements, initially localized to the left corner of the mouth and left upper limb, evolving into epilepsia partialis continua, despite appropriate sequential antiepileptic medications, subsequently progressed to refractory status epilepticus. He was tested positive for HIV infection and his neuroimaging revealed nonenhancing lesions, a novel finding in HIV-related encephalitis. We managed him with intravenous immunoglobulin along with multiple antiepileptic medications and highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART), and he exhibited a rapid clinical recovery over 3 weeks.
