Trigeminal Trophic Syndrome: Report of 2 Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE We present 2 cases of trigeminal trophic syndrome treated by surgery. METHODS We performed reconstruction of the ala nasi using a nasolabial flap or paramedian forehead flap in combination with an auricular chondrocutaneous composite graft. RESULTS One case was successfully treated. However, ulceration recurred intermittently in the other case. CONCLUSIONS Although trigeminal trophic syndrome is rare, we believe that plastic surgeons should have a raised awareness of this entity and familiarity with the treatment options.
