Abstract
The clinical use of a temporal periosteal bone flap for the reconstruction of a malar bone in a patient with the Treacher Collins syndrome is presented. The temporal muscle functions as an axial carrier of the periosteum that induces osteogenesis in young children, whereas the bone segments may serve as a nucleus for further bone formation from the periosteum. Correction of the eyelid coloboma was obtained by the rotation and advancement of a temporopalpebral flap.Entities:
