title: [Noma. Apropos of a case in a 10-year old child].
abstract: The author reports an unusual case of Cancrum Oris in a young nomadic Moroccan patient. They attribute the presence of this condition to poor dental oral care and the neglect of the disease in its early stages. Cancrum Oris can result in oral and facial mutilitations and on some occasions, death. It is proposed that preventative measures, including exemplary oral hygiene and adequate nutrition during infancy and childhood could eradicate the disease.
