[The value of a previously expanded musculo-cutaneous flap of the lower eyelid for the reconstruction of a full thickness loss of tissue substance of the upper eyelid].

The authors report a new technique for the reconstruction of upper eyelid full thickness tissue losses in preserving the inferior edge.

An anatomical study has demonstrated vascularization and innervation of the myo-cutaneous eyelid flap which will remain active.

[Barraquer-Simons syndrome and facial lipo-filling. Apropos of a case].

Authors present a Barraquer-Simons syndrome case. After a quick historical account, they look at the study of the clinical case. They present the different treatments undertaken in order to correct the two different types of anomaly of this syndrome: these are complementary treatments because they consist in taking the fat in excess in the lower half of the body and reinject it in the face.
