Using a topological arguments due to Aubin–Bahri (1997), we give some existence results for the Webster scalar curvature problem on the 2n+1 dimensional CR compact manifolds locally conformally CR equivalent to the unit sphere S2n+1 of Cn+1.

Par des arguments topologiques introduits par Aubin–Bahri (1997), nous donnons quelques résultats d'existence pour le problème de la courbure scalaire de Webster sur les variétés CR de dimension 2n+1 localement conformément CR equivalent à la sphère unité S2n+1 de Cn+1.
