Rat trigeminal ganglion projections to a visceral target (intracranial blood vessels) are enriched in calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (Sub P) compared to trigeminal ganglion projections to a cutaneous target (the forehead skin). We asked if transplants of a novel visceral target (fetal stomach antrum tissue) into the path of the neonatal rat trigeminal frontal nerve proje...

To investigate parasympathetic influences on the forehead microvasculature, blood flow was monitored bilaterally in seven participants with a unilateral facial nerve lesion during conjunctival irritation with Schirmer's strips and while breathing at 0.15 Hz. Blood flow and slow-wave frequency increased on the intact side of the forehead during Schirmer's test but did not change on the denervate...

Surgical defects following Mohs surgery can present challenging reconstructive problems. Defect size, shape, and depth cannot be predetermined; and consequently, repairs cannot be preplanned. As a result, the reconstructive surgeon, when designing a cosmetic repair, has to be both ingenious and resourceful. Multiple factors must be considered, including lines of minimal tension, innervation, va...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of the site of measurement of transcutaneous bilirubin (forehead or sternum) in reproducibility of results as compared to plasma bilirubin. METHODS A cohort study including 58 term newborns with no hemolytic disease. Transcutaneous measurements were performed on the forehead (halfway between the headline and the glabella, from the left toward the right s...

Forehead osteomas are benign but can pose aesthetic and functional problems. These osteomas are resected via bicoronal or endoscopic approach. However, large osteomas cannot be removed via endoscopic approach, and bicoronal approach can result in damage to the supraorbital nerve with resultant numbness in the forehead. We present a new approach to resection of forehead osteomas, with access pro...

OBJECTIVE To determine if clinically used botulinum exotoxin A (Botox) injections to the forehead and glabellar and crow's-feet regions result in modifications of eyebrow position. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Academic medical center in St Louis, Mo. SUBJECTS Twenty-nine adult patients treated with botulinum exotoxin A injections for rhytids. INTERVENTION The eyebrow position at 13...

Because of its ideal color and texture, forehead skin is acknowledged as the best donor site with which to resurface the nose. However, all forehead flaps, regardless of their vascular pedicles, are thicker than normal nasal skin. Stiff and flat, they do not easily mold from a two-dimensional to a three-dimensional shape. Traditionally, the forehead is transferred in two stages. At the first st...

A 48-year-old man presented with a two-year-history of a slowly growing pigmented lesion on his forehead. Dermatological examination revealed an irregular, multi-colored papule with a diameter of 25 x 26 mm (Figure 1). Dermatoscopic examination disclosed blue-gray globules, leaf-like structures and structureless areas (Figures 2, 3). Dermatoscopy: A multicolored lesion on the forehead Engin Şenel1
