    The contribution tries to show the effectiveness of combining the two levels of the language of use and of the literary language in the "Agnesa da Faenza" of Becelli. The aim is to highlight the peculiar way in which the author sets up the performance of the word, because this is mainly the characteristic feature of its comedies. its originality lies not so much in the choice of themes, nor in the way of representing them, but rather in the ability to shed new light on trite ways of saying and foreseeable dialogical or structural paradigms that are here highlighted

    Subnasal modified Le Fort I for nasolabial aesthetics improvement

    We report our experience with a modified Le Fort I osteotomy developed to avoid nasal tip upturning, alar base widening, and upper lip flattening in anterosuperior repositioning of the maxilla. We compare the aesthetic results obtained with this variation of the surgical technique to those obtained using the more traditional Le Fort I osteotomy combined with the alar cinch suture and the anterior nasal spine reduction procedures on a sample of 20 patients

    The authors present a case of foreign body retention, following car accident, localized on superior medial corner of the right orbit. The traumatic impact, involving endo-orbital structures, owing to the peculiar direction of the foreign body, caused a fracture in the anterior cranial base and laceration of the dura madre. As the anatomical structures involved did not concern only the MaxilloFacial district, the choice of the protocol to be applied to the patient was taken in accordance with the neurosurgical équipe. An intra cranial surgical approach has allowed to remove, by retrograding the foreign body on its trajectory path, in order not to injure further the already damaged structures involved. Then the tissues have been reconstructed; in particular, the anterior cranial base was restored through the use of pericranial strip. This technique is the elective surgical treatment in lesions of such small entity, as it is able to grant a solid support to the overhanging cerebral parenchyma. Besides, this reconstruction technique provides a complete protecting isolation of the ocular globe from compressive and pulsative phenomena, due to the neurocranial adjacent structures. With this technique, after a 8 month's follow-up. The patient has obtained optimum functional and aesthetic results

    AESTHETIC AND FUNCTIONAL RECONSTRUCTION IN INTRAOSSEUS HEMANGIOMAS OF THE ZYGOMA

    The incidence of intraosseus hemangiomas is very low. The mandible, the zygoma, the maxilla, and the frontal bone are the most frequent areas of localization in the craniomaxillofacial region. Surgery, without preoperative embolization, is always the best treatment for intraosseus hemangiomas of the zygoma. The radical removal of the tumor frequently causes a contour defect that has to be corrected. Calvarial grafts provide a good solution to the problem of reconstruction of bone loss. They are easy to prepare, near to the implant zone, and they do not require changes in the patient's position during the operation. The implants fixed by micro- and minifixation systems provide a good functional and aesthetic result. We, after a review of the literature on intraosseus hemangiomas of the craniomaxillofacial region, report two cases of intraosseus hemangiomas of the zygoma in which removal of the tumor and reconstruction with calvarial grafts have been performed
