Surgical treatment of congenital fronto-orbitomalar asymmetries.
Congenital fronto-orbital asymmetries can be of various origin. Correction of these malformations, whether due to maldevelopment of the foetus or to a congenital tumour, generally require a combined intracranial and extracranial approach. In recent years, a working group of plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons in the French-speaking part of Switzerland have been particularly interested in these problems. Some of their results are presented here.
