Abstract

The authors report on 3 cases of facial trauma with mandibular fracture caused by machete, and associated to more or less deep lesions of cutaneo-muscular coating planes and noble intra-facial organs. Treatment of such traumas must be performed in an emergency surgical unit, after a thorough check-up of the lesions. It is a traumatology peculiar to Peulh population, to be classified in the etiologic chapter of assaults.
