[Eyebrow reconstruction with a scalp island flap based on the superficial temporal artery].

The Authors describe the reconstruction of an eyebrow, in a case of complete traumatic avulsion, using a scalp island flap based on the superficial temporal artery, in a young person aged 32 years. The lesion represented a serious aesthetic disablement capable of causing disturbed psychic equilibrium and individual relationships, in view of the fact that the eyebrows play a decisive role in the characterisation of the face and expressive gestures. The strategy of using a scalp island flap with a limited amplitude only slightly larger than that of the site in which it was inserted enabled optimal projection of the newly constructed eyebrow to be achieved during suturing.

[Haemoperitoneum secondary to avulsed short gastric arteries after vomiting].

[Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst: a case report and review of the literature].

This unusual clinical case adds itself to the limited list of existing reports of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts in the international literature. It emphasizes the difficulties encountered in making a preoperative diagnosis, since these lesions can be described as both solid and cystic masses. A 69-year-old man underwent surgery to remove an expanding mass diagnosed as originating in the adrenal gland and discovered during clinical investigation for other indications.
