[Barraquer-Simons syndrome and facial lipo-filling. Apropos of a case]. / Syndrome de Barraquer-Simons et lipofilling facial. A propos d'un cas.

Authors present a Barraquer-Simons syndrome case. After a quick historical account, they look at the study of the clinical case. They present the different treatments undertaken in order to correct the two different types of anomaly of this syndrome: these are complementary treatments because they consist in taking the fat in excess in the lower half of the body and reinject it in the face. The different etiopathogenic hypothesis are tackled. To conclude, authors insist on the excellent result obtained after a lipo-aspiration: but they notice a near disappearance of the reinjected fat at the face after 4 years. Anyway, lipo-filling can be renewed without risks for the patient and can be an interesting palliative solution.

[Surgical treatment of basocellular carcinoma of the auricular concha. Our experiences apropos of 11 cases]. / Traitement chirurgical des carcinomes basocellulaires de la conque auriculaire. Notre expérience à propos de 11 cas.

Next to an anatomical come back authors describe different surgical technics they used for the rebuilding of the ear concha, after exeresis of basal cells epitheliomas: Post auricular island flap. Pretragian flaps superior pedicle. Post auricular flaps with a superior pedicle in two or one time. Clinical cases show what they said. To conclude, authors insist on the advantages of surgery: It allows, in the "conchal area" a protection of contiguous cartilage, in addition to a total check-up of the tumor. Surgical treatment can also be used to correct failures or resumption after radiotherapy.

[The "kite" flap in the reconstruction after excision of a basal cell carcinoma of the face. Our experience with 45 cases]. / Le lambeau "Cerf-volant" dans la reconstruction après exérèse de carcinome baso-cellulaire de la face. Notre expérience à propos de 45 cas.

The "Kite" flap is a triangular protruding flap attached underneath the skin. The authors present the results of the utilisation of this type of flap in reconstruction after removal of baso-cellular cancer of the face. After a brief historical and technical recall, they contemplate a study of 45 patients operated on by this method. The preferential localisations of this type of flap are analyzed (sub-orbital region, naso-genien region, labiogenien region). Other techniques of repair are discussed region by region. However, the authors emphasize the facility of execution of the "Kite" flap and its excellent aesthetic results, its principal use being in the reconstruction of the sub-orbital region.
