The objective of this article is to show a case of fronto-orbital reconstruction with prefabricated polymethyl methacrylate prosthesis. A 35-year-old male with alleged history of trauma following road traffic accident 3 months back reported with unaesthetic scar and deformity in right supraorbital region to us. As there was no functional deformity, the management was aimed at correcting the contour and esthetic only. The correction was achieved by overlaying the defect with a polymethyl methacrylate implant fabricated over a three-dimensional stereolithographically printed rapidly prototyped model. Postoperative phase was uneventful and esthetic outcome was satisfactory. The patient after 4-year follow-up reported with no discomfort and definite improvement in facial contour.
Developmental hamartomas are dysmorphic proliferation of native tissues which unlike neoplasms do not grow continuously and are mostly seen in infancy and childhood. Hamartoma of neurovascular origin can present itself as upper lip malformation. These lesions sometimes regress spontaneously while some require surgical intervention. Here, we report a case of congenital neurovascular hamartoma with midline cleft of the upper lip, tongue tie, and lower lip pits in a 4-month-old baby, managed by surgical intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
