Intraoral and commissural burns present a complex challenge for the reconstructive surgeon, with contractures being the main sequela encountered. Various reconstructive techniques have been described, none of which offers an ideal solution. A case of a severe intraoral contracture due to a caustic burn, and the modality of treatment is described. Once the contractures were released, a full-thickness preputial graft was used to cover the resultant buccal mucosal defect, with a satisfactory result. Due to its unique properties, the prepuce should be included as an additional tool in the reconstructive surgeon's armamentarium.
Introduced in 1875, the use of full-thickness skin graft for release of a lower eyelid ectropion secondary to burn contractures remains a mainstay of current burn treatment. The authors address issues such as acute care, the exposed cornea, scar management, and surgical management of eyelid deformities.
We review different aspects of trauma induced glaucoma and hypertonia, discussing pathophysiology, patient management, and the main clinical presentations. One can distinguish schematically first acute hypertonia related to changes in the position of the crystalline lens or to a hyphema which requires emergency medical or surgical care and second, chronic situations generally related to definitive angle lesions. We also discuss particular presentations such as phantom cell glaucoma and glaucoma by chemical burn or siderosis.
