    Author: Moullot P, Nguyen PS, Bardot J, Casanova D.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac Chir Orale; 2014 Nov; 115(5):308-12. PubMed ID: 24857544.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Reconstruction of an endonasal chondromucosal defect without skin defect is a rare event, which involves functional and esthetic outcomes. We report the original use of a composite graft, for the repair of an endonasal chondromucosal defect. OBSERVATION: A 57-year-old woman presented with extensive tissue loss after the complete resection of an arteriovenous malformation. The excision procedure removed a cartilaginous part of the dome, the lateral crus of the alar cartilage, and the adjacent mucosa. An auricular composite graft allowed for an effective reconstruction, with a very satisfactory result, in a single surgical step. DISCUSSION: Using an endonasal composite graft has rarely been reported even though there are few alternatives for the reconstruction of an endonasal chondromucosal defect.
