Abstract

Reconstruction of facial orbital region defects, secondary to wound dehiscence following orbital exentration to treat Mucormycosis is an issue confronting the rhinologist. The transposition flaps have a vital role when expected result is unlikely, neither aesthetic nor functional, with a simple primary closure, secondary intention, advancement sliding flap or by free skin grafts. Glabellar transposition flap was used in a patient with a wide defect involving the medial wall of the orbit. Though there is a delicate dissection of pedicel there is likelihood of a trapdoor deformity but the glabellar flap facilitates repair in a single-staged procedure. Moreover, the donor site scars are merged in the margins of the aesthetic units thereby retaining facial cosmesis.
