    Description / Table of Contents: Résume Bien que la région infratemporale soit une zone anatomiquement bien définie, sa configuration complexe, a donné lieu à de nombreux travaux parfois contradictoires, notamment quant à sa forme et son volume. C'est la raison pour laquelle, il a paru nécessaire aux auteurs de reévaluer ces paramètres par une étude tridimensionnelle, originale de cet espace. 38 pièces anatomiques ont été traitées selon la technique de Combelles et Boyer, permettant de déterminer trois plans de référence, et de là, la configuration dans l'epace et le volume de cette région. Cette étude permet de conclure que la région infra-temporale est un prisme triangulaire dont l'axe principal, horizontal, mesure 47 mm de long, sa base a une surface de 733 mm2. Le toit dorsal est situé à la boutonnière rétro-condylaire (de Juvara) et mesure 490 mm2. A l'intérieur de ce prisme, se situe un autre prisme, l'espace ptérygomandibulaire qui va en s'élargissant du plan du processus coronoïde (93 mm2) à celui du foramen mandibulaire (169 mm2), avant de se terminer en une étroite fente entre le col mandibulaire et le fascia interptérygoïdien. Le volume de l'espace ptérygomandibulaire est sensiblement supérieur aux chiffres de la littérature : 4,8 ml à 5,8 ml suivant la denture. Ceci souligne la nécessité d'injecter des doses d'anesthésiques, lors de la réalisation de blocs mandibulaires dépassant largement les 1,8 ml habituellement préconisés, sans aucune extravasation du produit hors de cette région.
    Notes: Summary Although the infratemporal region is well defined anatomically, its complex topography has been the subject of numerous, and sometimes, opposite works. That is the reason why it appeared necessary for the authors to re-evaluate this topic using the original method of Combelles and Boyer, allowing to define three referential planes, and thereby, a tridimensional shape and the volume of this region. This study allows to conclude that the infratemporal region is a triangular prism with an horizontal main axis 47 mm long. Its anterior base has a mean area of 733 mm2. The posterior top consists of the Juvara slot and has a mean area of 490 mm2. This infratemporal prism contains another one, the pterygomandibular space, prismatic too. It widens out from coronoïd plane (93 mm2) to mandibular foramen plane (169 mm2) before ending as a narrow groove between the neck of the mandibular condyle and the interpterygoïd fascia. The volume of the pterygomandibular space is quite superior to the value usually reported in the dental literature. It is of 4.8 ml to 5.8 ml according to denture. These results point out the opportunity to accomodate more important volumes of anesthesic solutions, than the 1.8 ml usually performed, without any leak out of the infratemporal region.

    Notes: Summary  Objective. Lumbar discectomy is a common elective surgical procedure but many patients still experience postoperative back pain which may delay hospital discharge. We therefore evaluated the efficacy of a parenteral non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent, ketorolac, for the management of post-surgical pain.  Methods. Fifty three patients undergoing lumbar discectomy at a Medical School affiliated Veterans Administration hospital were randomly assigned to receive either: 1) 30 mg intramuscular ketorolac upon surgical closure and every 6 hours for 36 hours and narcotic analgesics as needed (PRN); or 2) only narcotic analgesics as needed. A blinded observer recorded the average, minimum and maximum postoperative pain intensity using a Numeric Pain Intensity Scale; total postoperative narcotic consumption, complications, length of hospitalization (from surgery to discharge) and outcome at 6 weeks.  Results. The patients who received ketorolac reported significantly lower average (p〈0.001), minimum (p〈0.001), and maximum (p〈0.001) pain scores than patients receiving only narcotic analgesics. Cumulative narcotic doses (standardized to parenteral morphine) were significantly lower in the ketorolac group (p〈 0.001). There was no significant difference between groups in the frequency of side effects, and no complication specifically associated with ketorolac use was observed. Mean length of hospitalization was significantly shorter (p=0.05) in patients receiving ketorolac than in patients receiving only narcotics. Six weeks after surgery 5 (19.2%) patients who received only narcotics were troubled by persistent back pain. By contrast, all patients who received ketorolac were free of back pain at follow-up (p=0.03).  Conclusions. These results suggest that ketorolac, when used with PRN narcotics, is more effective than PRN narcotics alone for postoperative pain following lumbar disc surgery. In addition, this strategy also may contribute to early discharge from hospital after lumbar disc surgery.

    Notes: The recent availability of small-volume spacers has facilitated the general use of inhaled treatment in infants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate any errors made by parents when using this new inhalation technique and the child's behavior during the inhalation. Ninety-four young children (61% boys) under 5 years of age were enrolled in the study. Inhalation treatment was recommended either by a general practitioner or by a pediatrician. Data concerning treatment regimens, the ability of parents to use the spacer and metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), and the acceptance of the devices, were collected by means of a demonstration and questionnaire. Unexpectedly, the doses, administration times, and duration of the treatments varied from one child to the next. No explanation or training in administering the treatment via the spacers was given to 12% and 47% of the parents, respectively. Fourteen per cent of parents did not shake the MDIs, 12% did not monitor the valves, and 22% allowed too short a time for inhalation. The lack of explanation increased the occurence of errors in manipulation of the devices. The procedure was judged to be easy to follow by 78% of the parents, but the face mask was accepted with difficulty by 22% of the children. Repeated crying during administration of the treatment was observed in 38% of the patients, particularly the youngest. Crying influenced the acceptance of the face mask, reduced parental compliance, and made the use of the devices more difficult. Errors altering the efficiency of inhalation treatment in infants are frequent. Most of these errors could be avoided by spending more time to inform the parents about correct usage. Furthermore, repeated crying during inhalation is common in young children and this problem should to be taken into consideration in the evaluation of treatment.
