Nasal arterio-venous malformations (AVM) are uncommon lesions. We present a rare case of huge, long standing AVM in the nasal area which was treated by angioembolization, followed by surgical excision and forehead flap reconstruction.

a palatal defect may result from surgical resection, and its consequences could include difficulty in speech and nasal regurgitation of food and liquids. an obturator combined to speech aid prosthesis can improve nasal emission during speech,  and  assist  in  preventing  nasal  regurgitation  of  food.  this  article presents a clinical report of the reconstruction of palatopharyngeal function...

Facial reconstruction is one of the most challenging problems faced by a reconstructive surgeon. We present a case of complex facial reconstruction with a composite trauma to the nose resulting in near total loss of skin and lining along with complete loss of left eyebrow with exposed frontal bone and partial loss of the left eyelid. We combined a temporoparietal fascial flap for reconstruction...

five cases of extensive lid-cheek basal cell car cmornas are presented. treatment was by wide excision followed by immediate reconstruction using the nasal septal chondr . mucosal graft technique of millard. the advantages of th i. procedure in an elderly, rural population of working people over other modes of reconstruction are noted. the success of this procedure recommends its wider applicat...

Due to the complex three-dimensional structure of the nose, the repair of the nasal defect requires reconstruction of three different layers: skin envelope, osteocartilaginous framework and nasal lining. Before nasal reconstruction can be accomplished, the nose must rest on a stable platform to avoid late nasal obstructions, and septal deviations resulting from scar contraction. We present thre...

Introduction: Reconstruction of intraoral soft tissue defects is important in restoring function and esthetic. In large defects, there will be demand for regional pedicle flaps or free flaps. Hard palate separates nasal and oral cavities. Due to the small surface area between flap and remaining palate after surgical resections, optimal blood supply of the flaps for hard palate reconstructions ...

introduction the nasolabial flap (nlf) has many advantages in oromaxillary reconstruction, but the majority of cases are reconstructions after pathologic resections. its usage in trauma surgery, especially in the management of gunshot wounds, is rarely mentioned. case presentation three cases involving gunshot injuries to the face are presented: one for reconstruction of the nasal ala, another ...

Reconstruction of nasal defects can be a difficult task if large amounts of nasal mucosa are missing. We have found the inferior turbinate mucosal flap to be a reliable and effective flap in a series of 16 patients undergoing nasal reconstruction or repair of septal perforations. Most of these patients had insufficient mucosa to use traditional flaps harvested from the nasal floor or the latera...
