It usually occurs as a complication of trauma to the frontal region, frontal sinusitis or by blood-borne spread, the infection can also spread inwards leading to an intracranial abscess. This is a 04-month-old, 7 kg infant with left frontal swelling with ipsilateral orbital extension. This swelling had been evolving for approximately 1 month. The computed tomography showed a hypodensity of liquid in the left fronto-orbital subcutaneous topography with an intense annular parietal enhancement in the arterial and late stages. Treatment consisted of surgical drainage under general anesthesia. We made the incision via the left pterional approach and undermining up to the frontal bone. From the pus about 40 cc then we proceeded to the debridement of necrotic tissues and curettage of the frontal bone which was lysed in places. The germ found was Burkhoderia pseudomallei gram-neg...

The severity of FMD is primarily related to the presence of known or potential respiratory distress, profuse bleeding and / or associated lesions. Moreover, it must also be considered in terms of secondary functional and aesthetic consequences. The objective of this work was to determine the socio-demographic and clinical aspects of facial trauma in our practice. So a retrospective retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the stomatology and maxillofacial surgery department of the national center of odontostomatology of Bamako from June 1st to December 31st. 2012 and concerned all patients admitted for trauma massive facial. There were 58 cases. 84.50% of which were men with a sex ratio of 6.2. The best represented age group was 21-30 years old. The average age was 28.56 years old. School children accounted for 39.90% of cases. Road traffic accidents were the main etiology with 79.30% of cases. B...
