title: Anterolateral thigh flap for reconstruction of periorbital defect.
abstract: A 49-year-old man presented with basal cell carcinoma for 12 years and 3 surgeries. Here, we have used the pedicled anterolateral thigh flap to cover his periorbital defect. To our knowledge, pedicled anterolateral thigh flap can be used reliably and safely to cover defects in facial reconstruction.
