[Treatment of facial lesions in Parry-Romberg and Barraquer-Simons syndromes: report of 12 clinical cases]. / Traitement des lésions faciales dans les syndromes de Parry-Romberg et de Barraquer-Simons: à propos de 12 cas cliniques.

The authors report their personal experience in surgical treatment of facial atrophies. The series present two types of facial atrophy: Parry-Romberg syndrome and Barraquer-Simons syndrome. After reviewing the etiology, pathogenesis and clinical features of these two entities, the authors describe their series of 12 patients: six presenting Parry-Romberg unilateral facial atrophy, six presenting from Barraquer-Simons bilateral facial atrophy. After a review of the literature, they draw conclusions about surgical repair techniques used (free or pedicled flaps, alloplastic grafts, lipofilling) and compare them with those reported in the literature.

[Use of reverse blood flow vascular island nasolabial pedicle flap in the repair of the columella]. / Utilisation d'un lambeau naso-génien en îlot vasculaire à pédicule rétrograde dans la réparation columellaire. A propos d'un cas.

The authors report the use of a vascular island nasolabial flap with facial arterial pedicle and reverse blood flow inspired by the flap described by C. Le Quang in an unpublished indication. This case concerns a 64-year-old patient with a large botryomycoma of the columella. The size of the defect following excision and the length of the columella authorized reconstruction using a split thickness nasolabial reverse flap. At one year post-operatively the result was aesthetic and defatting was unnecessary. This flap is used to repair defects of the nasal lateral wall and ala. In some conditions, it can be used to repair the collumela, providing a safe vascular support in one stage.
