INTRODUCTION: Congenital constriction band is an uncommon congenital abnormality with multiple disfiguring and disabling manifestations. The widely known management for the correction of congenital constriction band especially in circumferential constriction band is done in a multistage release of constriction band to eluding vascular and lymphatic embarrassment. The purpose of this case report was to present the outcome of one-stage release in terms of safety and aesthetic appearance. CASE DESCRIPTION:Women 28 year old came to outpatient plastic surgery clinic presented with circumferential constriction with no functional disability in her right arm since birth. Excision based on design of multiple Z-Plasty is started 2 cm proximal and distal from constricted band. The multiple Z- Plasty flaps are transposed around each other, changing the direction of the constriction band. Postoperatively, the extremity circulation was normal, and no edema was observed. The range of motion is within normal limits and aesthetically acceptable for the patient. DISCUSSION: Patterson classified constriction ring syndrome into four types, and type II is the most common. In type II Paterson , there are normal full-layer skin structures and no important nerve or blood vessel was affected so an incision completely encircling an extremity would not interfere with distal circulation and provided strong evidence that one-stage resection of constriction band could be performed. Using multiple Z-Plasty for constriction band release leads to improvement of functional and cosmetic appearance of the defect. CONCLUSION: A one-stage release of circumferential constriction band in the upper limb using multiple Z-Plasty is considered as a safe treatment with an aesthetically acceptable result for the patient
Backgrounds: The main objective of Frontoethmoidal encephalomeningocele (FE) treatment are neural morbidities defect correction and aesthetically pleasing looks. Staged procedures are used to be performed in Indonesia. This article aimed to reveal the result of FE correction through the single-stage modified Chula technique (ST-MCT) procedure in collaboration with the neurosurgery team. Case Reports: A rare case of 5 years old girl diagnosed with FE was reported in this study. The FE was slowly increased in size, causing apparent facial deformity and the appearance of telecanthus. An ST-MCT procedure in collaboration with the neurosurgery team was conducted to correct the defects. The IOD values, IPD values, postoperative complications, and anesthetic improvements were evaluated in this study. Result: The patient was well after the surgery, with no complications and short length of stay. There were noted improvement of ICD, IOD and IPD postoperative follow up. At three years after the surgery ICD= 29mm; IOD= 26mm; IPD= 52 mm (normal range). Summary: ST-MCT procedure conducted in collaboration with neurosurgery team had shown excellent correction of ICD, IOD, and IPD values, no complication, shorter length of stay, and minimal scars. It considers as the most proper technique to reach a good result of correction and aesthetically pleasing looks in FE cases.
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal radius is a rare and unpredictable lesion. The aim of treatment is complete removal of the tumor and preservation of the maximum function of the extremity. Lower rates of local recurrence have been noted after wide resection of the diseased bone. Its standard treatment has ranged from surgical curettage to wide resection. One method for closing the defect is using the head of the fibula as a substitute for the distal radius. The healing of vascularized fibular graft is very quick and without bone resorption. Thus, in the procedure for reconstruction and limb salvage after bone tumor resection of the distal radius, the free vascularized fibular graft with the fibular head is an ideal substitute. This case report will show a patient with GCT that successfully treated by an excision of GCT followed by reconstruction of distal radius using free vascularized fibular graft.
