 Rhino-orbital cutaneous mucormycosis (ROCM) leading to orbital exenteration can be debilitating functionally as well as psychosocially. Orbital reconstruction following exenteration for mucormycosis has centered on volume filling with local, regional, or free flaps. This case series is built on the original idea of a bilayered operculum at the orbital inlet.

Background/aim: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant hereditary tumor predisposition syndrome. In approximately 30% of cases, plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) are identified, which are precursor lesions for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). MPNST is a major cause of the reduced life expectancy of NF1 patients.

(1) Background: Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft tissue tumor that primarily occurs in the eye socket (orbit) of children. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, aiming to remove the tumor and prevent metastasis. (2) Methods: An institutional retrospective study was conducted with data from 39 patients with primary orbital RMS treated between 1995 and 2016 at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers/Emma Children Hospital.

Anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap for facial reconstruction following orbital necrotising fasciitis.

BMJ Case Rep

February 2025

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.

Periorbital necrotising fasciitis is an extremely rare and life-threatening condition, often requiring complex reconstructive strategies. The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is a fasciocutaneous flap often employed for cancer and trauma reconstruction. We report the successful utilisation of the ALT flap as a single-stage operation for reconstruction of a large tissue defect following extensive debridement and orbital exenteration using the reconstructive elevator as a framework for decision-making.
