title: [Patient treated with sub-mental intubation for maxillofacial trauma].
abstract: Maxillo-facial traumas are frequent and most often occur in young patients. Naso-tracheal or orotracheal intubation may be contraindicated in case of combined occlusal fracture and nasal or ethmoido-nasal fracture. This study was carried out a clinical case of a patient treated at the Lille University Hospital for a maxillofacial trauma associating fracture of nose and maxilla. The purpose was to assess the reliability of submental intubation as an alternative to tracheotomy. Submental intubation is a reliable single and safe technique allowing an one-stage surgical treatment in case of complex association of fractures without using tracheotomy. Its use should be implemented on a larger scale.
