Medial Canthus Reconstruction with the Paramedian Forehead Flap.

Background: The medial canthus represents the medial confluence of the upper and lower eyelid margins and plays an integral role in the lacrimal duct system. Various flaps have been utilized for the reconstruction of the lower eyelid in the medial canthal region. Our institution primarily utilizes the paramedian forehead flap for the reconstruction of medial canthus defects.
