Abstract
Context
It is within the framework of the helmet-masks of Sande, worn only by women, that this study aims to develop the medical observation of the different sculpted elements on the face, the hairstyle, the neck, and to make a diagnosis to identify a possible pathology.
Methodology
The skin, represented by the black patina of the mask, will serve as a link to examine all the characteristics of the mask, the scarifications, the abundant hair, the appearance of the folds of the neck.
Result
These observations lead to the identification of a young initiate in full health.
Conclusion
No pathology is detected on the helmet-masks of Sande, only persists, after examination, the image of a feminine ideal.
Perspectives
It seems interesting to develop the icono-diagnosis to other masks of different ethnicities knowing that some, rare, express a pathology.
期刊介绍：
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
