Frontal bandeau reconstruction with a fibula flap in a patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome

J Craniofac Surg. 2009 Jan;20(1):256-8. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0b013e31818436d7.

Abstract

A 29-year-old woman with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome had a history of recurrent frontal sinus infections for which she underwent a 1-stage frontal sinus obliteration and cranioplasty using a free fibula osteocutaneous flap. This case is unique in that a free fibula flap had never been used to obliterate the frontal sinus in a patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, nor had it been harvested from a limb with a clubfoot.
