Abstract

Noma is a grangenous stomatitis which might extend to other facial structures leading to extensive soft tissue and bony defects. Reconstruction of noma sequellae should take into account a few principles in relation to the particular aspect of this disease: (1) correction of the mandibular constriction; (2) removal of scar tissue in order to recreate the initial defect; (3) reconstruction of the missing bony framework; (4) reconstruction of the maxilla and upper lip before building the nose in case it is destroyed; (5) anticipation of the facial growth. Reconstruction of the lips, in case of extensive defects often necessitates a distant skin flap. As free flaps, the forearm fascio-cutaneous flap or the serratus musculo-cutaneous flap were used according to the size of the defect. The mucosal part of the lip is usually reconstructed with a local flap from the adjacent lip or an heterolabial flap (Estlander flap).
