Intraoral reconstruction with "thinned" peroneal artery perforator flaps: An alternative to classic donor areas in comorbid patients.

Free fasciocutaneous flaps like the radial forearm free flap (RFFF) and the anterolateral thigh (ALT) are the most commonly used flaps in intraoral reconstruction. However, certain conditions preclude the use of either of these flaps. The aim of this report was to show applicability of "thinned" peroneal artery perforator (PAP) flaps in intraoral reconstruction.

Sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter as an estimate of intracranial pressure in adult trauma.

Background: Intracranial pressure (ICP) is currently measured with invasive monitoring. Sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) may provide a noninvasive estimate of ICP. Our hypothesis was that bedside ONSD accurately estimates ICP in acutely injured patients.
