title: Surgical correction of residual facial deformity following treatment of acromegaly.
abstract: The features and treatment of acromegaly are described and emphasis placed on the apparent failure of the bone deformities to regress. A method of one stage correction of such residual facial deformity is described and illustrated in a patient with deformities of the mandible, frontal, zygomatic and nasal bones, nine years after hypophysectomy.
