The lateral inframalleolar fat pad: a poorly recognized anatomical structure.

The authors carried out an anatomical histological study of the lateral inframalleolar region in order to improve knowledge of a fat pad of the lateral aspect of the ankle which is not mentioned in most anatomical texts. Twenty-four ankles, from 12 cadavers, free of any local pathology or malformation, were studied. Twenty ankles were dissected, of which, five had samples taken for histological examination.

["CAB" (Corpus Adiposum Buccae). Anatomical description and surgical reflexions apropos of buccal fat pads].

Thirty hemi-faces of fresh cadavers and two centuries of bibliographies have been studied. Both packed fat and organ fat linked to the mastication, the Corpus Adiposum Buccae (CAB-Bichat's fat ball) is an anatomic structure which involves the entire hemi-face. The CAB stretches from the temporal region to the cheek, passing through the zygomatico-malar tunnel and the pterygomandibular fossa.

The existence of an adipose formation under the skin of the lateral part of the ankle is constant in both sexes. It is more important in the female ankle. No anatomical study has been made before, except for an illustration in Sarrafian's Treatise of Anatomy, where it is described as a "fat pad of the prelateral malleolar fossa", whereas no actual description is provided in the text.

The cephaloxerogram has been a very useful exam before rhinoplasty since 1975. The comparison with post-operative cephaloxerograms performed on 72 rhinoplasties between. 10 and 23 months, was performed to investigate the soft-tissue response following rhinoplasty.
