Abstract:
Treatment of severe microstomia caused by swallowing of caustic soda is presented. The oral cavity was severely constricted because of mucosal adhesions. We used a free forearm flap for reconstruction of the oral cavity and vermilion flaps at the oral commissure, with satisfactory results. A technique is presented, and the problems with respect to the reconstruction of the oral cavity are discussed.
