title: [An atypical case of tetanus with oral entry].
abstract: This article reports a case of atypical tetanus localised exclusively in the head, with an oral point of entry very rare nowadays. With reference to this case, we describe the pathophysiology, clinical forms and the treatment of this infection. It is therefore essential that every practitioner, in the presence of a trismus, should consider the possibility of tetanus.
