Abstract
|
|
|
Romber's disease is progressive hemifacial atrophy, which begins before the age of 20-years, affecting the subcutaneous tissue and skin with later involvement of the muscle and osteocartilagenous frame work. The disease may be heralded by
pigmentary
changes of the hair, skin, or iris. When present, atrophy may originate from the cutaneous stigmata and may become so sharply delimited by the midline. There are a number of methods to correct the soft tissue deformity of the face. We had
experienced
22-year old female patient who had a moderate soft tissue atrophy on the left side of the face. The patient was treated with a de-epithelized groin free flap. Superficial circumflex iliac vessels were used as donor pedicle and the superficial
temporal
vessels were recipient vessel. Initially moderate bulkiness was noted but after 6 months follow-up period the external contour was good and the patient satisfied. A case presentation and review of literatures are the basis of this report.
