The authors present a new therapeutic protocol for ethmo++idal adenocarcinomas. It includes a pre-operative chemotherapy based on a four days continued infusion of cis-platinum and 5 F.U. (three cures with 3 weeks-intervals); it is followed by a carcinologic removal realized through a combined transfacial and intra-cranial approach. They discuss the interest of combined surgery which should allow a limitation of intra-cranial recurrencies. The intra-cranial extension must not be a limit to the removal even in case of dural, or even sub-dural extension. The reconstruction of the anterior basis of the skull has been simplified as much as possible: it has been performed either with a bone graft removed from the frontal flap inner table, or with a precut madreporic coral graft. In all cases, the dura has been doubled with a large shred of galea. They emphasize the efficiency of pre-operative chemotherapy. Eleven patients underwent such a protocol; two were operated in a recurrence, 9 in first hand. The preliminary results seem to be promising: the one year and two years actuarial survival rates are 84%.
