AbstractNoma (cancrum oris) is an unspecific bacterial infection in the oro-facial area. In the industrial countries noma is generally unknown, but in the 3rd world - especially in West Africa - it is widespread and one of the main causes of mortalitiy and reason for disability in children. Pathogenesis, clinical course, management and treatment of noma are described with the consequences for anaesthesia.Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
