Case Reports[Subcutaneous cervicofacial and mediastinal emphysema complicating tooth extraction: case report].
Subcutaneous emphysema is a rare and well-known complication of dental procedures. Many cases go unrecognized and resolve spontaneously, while others may require specific surgical management to prevent complications. We present a case of cervicofacial and mediastinal emphysema which occurred during a routine dental procedure and a review of the literature on differential diagnosis and management.

Case Reports[Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the infratemporalis fossa: a case report].
Extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the head and neck is usually seen in the Waldeyer's ring. Localizations in the infratemporalis fossa are rare and to date, only seven cases have been reported. ⋯ Positive diagnosis requires a pathologic examination, generally guided by immunohistochemistry results. We report a case and discuss the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic features of these tumors.

There has been little work reported in the literature concerning trauma resulting from high level falls and almost none devoted to maxillofacial trauma following defenestration. The purpose of this work was to report the first series of defenestration victims who incurred maxillofacial trauma. ⋯ The psychic and social vulnerability of the defenestration patient aggravated by the trauma is a fundamental dimension which must be taken into consideration during the initial management of these patients.

Multicenter Study Clinical Trial[Prevention of postoperative bleeding in patients taking oral anticoagulants. Effects of tranexamic acid].
We present a prospective clinical study on use of tranexamic acid mouthwashes in patients taking oral anticoagulants and who have to undergo minor ambulatory oral surgery, without modifying their anticoagulant therapy. ⋯ Use of tranexamic acid mouthwashes under a specific protocol is an efficient, reliable and economic method in preventing postoperative bleeding in patients under oral anticoagulant therapy.
