Özet

After the excision of a recurrent squamous cell carcinoma in a 52-year-old man, a reverse temporalis muscle flap combined with a pericranial flap was used to reconstruct the anterior cranial base and the frontal defect. The combined flap is based on the superficial temporal fascia supplied by the superficial temporal vessels. We recommend the usage of the combined reverse temporalis muscle flap and the pericranial flap for reconstruction of the anterior cranial base, the frontal region, and other facial defects.
