چکیده
Conflicts of interests: none Financial support: none ABS TRACT Reconstructions of the auricular pavilion are complex, especially when there is a loss of cartilaginous support. A case of chondrocutaneous defect reconstruction, after the exeresis of a basal cell carcinoma in the upper third of the auricular pavilion, is reported. Silicone fiber was used to model and provide support for the ear. The technique of using cartilage or compound grafts in the auricular pavilion is described.

متن کاملMethods to Improve Fiber Reconstruction at DTI-Based Tractography in the Area of Brain Tumor: Case Illustration and Literature Review
Background and Aim: DTI-based tractography could help us to visualize the spatial relation of fiber tracts to brain lesions. Several factors may interfere with the procedure of diffusion-based tractography, especially in brain tumors. The aim of the current study is to discuss several solutions to improve the procedure of fiber reconstruction adjacent or inside brain lesions. Illustrative cases...

models were poured by using type 3 dental stone (Giludur, BK Giulini). Thereafter, wax patterns of epitheses (Figure 2) were prepared by using dental wax (Cavex Set Up Wax, Cavex) based on cast models and photographs of healthy ears. After the trial of wax patterns on patients in terms of marginal fit and anatomical localization, cast models were molded (Figure 3). The molds were then placed in...
