The glabellar flap dissected.

Abstract

The glabellar flap is effective in the reconstruction of defects within the medial canthal region. The unique contour of the medial canthal region presents a challenge in the surgical planning of the glabellar flap, which is only briefly described in texts. We describe its step by step construction, including the indications and precautions. We also include a section on variations in design for improved closure. With careful planning, the glabellar flap provides excellent cosmetic results.

Subcutaneous emphysema secondary to pulmonary cavity in absence of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum.

Subcutaneous emphysema is a common condition occurring after chest injury. It may also be observed in association with pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum as a result of pathological changes in the respiratory tract. Spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema in absence of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum is rare. We report a case of spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema in isolation secondary to fibrocavitatory lesion in the chest along with review of the literature.
