Oculo-Auriculo-Fronto-Nasal Syndrome With Duane Retraction Syndrome and Dysplastic Bony Structure in the Midline of Nose.

Oculo-auriculo-fronto-nasal syndrome (OAFNS) is a rare anomaly characterized by features overlapping those of frontonasal dysplasia (FND) and the oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS). The FND features malformation of frontonasal process-derived structures, characterized by anomalies in the central portion of the face. The OAVS is characterized by developmental anomalies of the first and second pharyngeal arches.

Advancement Flap Using Excess Skin for Upper Eyelid Full-Thickness Defects.

Reconstruction of upper eyelid defects should aim for a moveable lid with perfect corneal protection and good aesthetic quality. Numerous procedures to reconstruct large upper eyelid defects have been reported, but these methods require 2-stage procedures. A new method for reconstructing full-thickness upper eyelid defects after tumor excision in a single stage was presented in this study.

Changes in high endothelial venules in lymph nodes after vascularized and nonvascularized lymph node transfer in a murine autograft model.

Background And Objectives: Vascularized lymph node transfer (LNT) is gaining popularity in the treatment of lymphedema. However, it is unclear whether the vascularization of transferred lymph nodes (LNs) contributes to functional improvement. High endothelial venules (HEVs) are specialized vessels that allow lymphocytes to enter LNs.
