[Nipple-areola complex malformations].

THE NIPPLE-AREOLA COMPLEX, ALSO KNOWN AS THE NIPPLE-AREOLA PLATE, IS AN ESSENTIAL VISUAL FEATURE OF THE BREAST.THIS COMPLEX CAN BE AFFECTED BY VARIOUS MALFORMATIONS, BOTH CONGENITAL AND ACQUIRED. ALTHOUGH THESE ANOMALIES OFTEN HAVE A MODERATE IMPACT ON THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THIS COMPLEX, THE RESULTING PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES CAN BE SIGNIFICANT.

Three-dimensional study of 31 cases of synostotic anterior plagiocephaly before and after surgical management the Lille protocol.

Synostotic anterior plagiocephaly is a rare pathological cranial malformation. Therapeutic options are rarely studied due to the rarity of the malformation and difficulties in diagnosis and care management. The objective of this study was to analyze the results obtained with the Lille protocol based on 62 CT-scans done before and after surgery in 31 patients.

Unicoronal synostotic plagiocephaly: surgical correction: Lille's technique.

Introduction: For 35 years, we have a tight neuro-plastic surgical cooperation for the surgical correction and long-term systematic follow-up of 125 cases of unicoronal synostotic plagiocephaly.

Methods: We have tried to understand why some patients had kept an asymmetrical facial growth pattern in spite of a good fronto orbital correction. Analysis in vestibular orientation which was available from 1993 has demonstrated a discrepancy between the ocular and the vestibular verticality referential system.

Long-term results in scalp tissue expansion in children.

Introduction: Tissue expansion is frequently used in scalp repair in children. The short-term complications are well known and described in the literature. Impacts at a distance such as potential deformation of the skull or widening of the scar are not so often presented.
