| ABSTRACT |
|
Oronasal fistula is a rare but significant complication that diminishes the quality of life for patients undergoing treatment for cleft palate and head and neck cancer. Various surgical reconstruction methods can be used based on the size and location of the oronasal fistula. The intranasal inferior turbinate rotational flap is a simple and safe method for reconstructing the defect of nasal cavity. In this case report, we experienced a small oronasal fistula of a 50-year-old female caused by osteoradionecrosis after treatment for her malignant melanoma. Successful reconstruction was achieved with inferior turbinate rotational flap alone. For small oronasal fistula in the hard palate, the inferior turbinate flap alone can be a useful option for reconstruction. |
