Congenital hairy nevus: A case report of long-term follow-up following curettage of the nevus at the age of 6 hrs.

Introduction: Management of giant hairy nevi depends on various factors including the size and anatomical area.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a giant hairy nevus treated successfully with curettage at the age of 6 hrs after birth. There was partial recurrence of pigmentation and hair on long-term (10 years) follow-up.

Skin Preservation in the Debridement of Necrotizing Fasciitis: A Demonstrative Case Report.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare yet potentially fatal soft-tissue, polymicrobial infection. Aggressive debridement of the fascia and overlying skin as well as antimicrobial coverage constitute the mainstay of management, often leaving large skin defects. However, we demonstrate in this paper a case of a young woman who developed NF after liposuction and was treated by fascial debridement with minimal skin excision.

Challenging the Subcostal Incision Scar with the Two-staged Abdominoplasty: An Innovative Approach.

Abdominoplasty is a commonly sought-after procedure due to its life-transforming results, but is limited, as in any other operation, by a number of contraindications. One of these contraindications is a subcostal scar, which may jeopardize blood supply to the upper flap of the abdominoplasty, resulting in skin necrosis. Herein, we challenge this dogma by introducing the two-staged abdominoplasty with the utilization of a delayed flap in a 48-year-old multiparous woman presenting with a Kocher incision of open cholecystectomy, with good results and a complication-free course of 3 postoperative months.

Rhinoplasty for Hypertrophied Transverse Nasalis Muscle: A Case Report.

Negatively impacting the aesthetics of the face, nasal deformities can be attributed to many congenital or acquired causes, of which muscular hypertrophy is uncustomary. In this article, we narrate a case of a 26-year-old woman with a prominently wide mid-vault, in addition to other abnormalities of the nose. It was thought to originate from soft tissue because it was thick and firm to palpation.

The use of an omental flap for the reconstruction of a burn injury to the scalp: A case report.

Introduction: Omental free flaps are used in reconstructing a wide range of clinical indications in the head and neck. The first omental flap case to be reported was in 1972 by McLean and Buncke.

Case Presentation: This case demonstrate the feasibility of minimal invasive procedure of harvest an omental flap laparoscopically to cover the entire scalp after a burn injury in a young male.

Scalp reconstruction with free flaps using the external carotid artery and internal jugular vein as the recipient vessels without the need for interpositional vein grafts or arterio-venous loops.

The technique of lengthening of the pedicles of the rectus abdominus and latissimus dorsi free flaps are described in five patients. Lengthening of these pedicles allowed scalp reconstruction using the external carotid artery and internal jugular vein as the recipient vessels without the need for interpositional vein grafts or arterio-venous loops. Post-operative recovery was uneventful in all cases.

Oral burn contractures in children.

Oral burn contractures in children present major reconstructive problem. Only few reports in literature discussed oral burns in children. Electrical, chemical, and thermal agents are the main causative agents for oral burns.

Surgical correction of primary cutis vertices gyrata.

Primary cutis vertices gyrata is a rare condition of the scalp characterized by the formation of furrows and folds resembling the convolutions of the brain. A review of the English literature did not reveal any surgically treated cases. The authors report three cases treated by simple excision of the deepest furrows with a satisfactory result.

An unusual case of preaxial polydactyly of the hands and feet: a case report.

An unusual case of polydactyly of the hands and feet is described. The ulnar 4 digits of both hands and the outer 4 digits of both feet appeared normal, and the extra digits were on the radial side of the hands and on the medial side of the feet. The pattern of polydactyly did not fit any of the well-known deformities associated with radial digital duplication such as thumb polydactyly, mirror hand, or duplicated (multiple) hands.
