Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

8.4K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

13.9K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

7.8K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Summary

Reconstructing medium-to-large central forehead defects after Mohs surgery can be simplified. A primary vertical linear closure, carefully aligning forehead rhytides, offers an effective aesthetic repair.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatologic Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery Reconstruction

Background:

  • Reconstruction of medium-to-large central forehead defects post-Mohs surgery presents significant challenges.
  • Traditional methods may involve complex flaps or grafts, increasing morbidity.

Observation:

  • A case report details the repair of a defect resulting from Mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma.
  • The defect was addressed using a primary vertical linear closure with meticulous attention to rhytide matching.

Findings:

  • A simple primary vertical linear closure can achieve aesthetic repair of medium-to-large central forehead defects.
  • Pre-operative marking and matching of forehead rhytides are crucial for accurate wound approximation.

Implications:

  • This technique offers a less complex alternative for central forehead reconstruction.
  • It highlights the importance of precise surgical planning for optimal aesthetic outcomes in facial defect repair.
