    Author: Echinard C, Dantzer E.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 1995 Jun; 40(3):238-50. PubMed ID: 7574401.
    Abstract:
    The nose is in the medial portion of the face and is frequently injured in trauma of this area. Due to its situation its structure and shape, and its essential function, this organ is particularly exposed in the case of facial burns. These injuries, are usually associated with larger injuries, and frequently with systemic problems, such as respiratory problems. The authors describe nasal burns in the larger context of facial burns, and summarize recent data on this topic. They then recall the fascinating story of rhinopoiesis through the ages. The third part is devoted to their personal approach to reconstruction of the nose in severe panfacial burns, using a forehead flap with one or several tissue expanders.
