| Popis: | Temporal contour deformity is defined as a concavity or depression in the temporal region located superior to the zygomatic arch and immediately posterior to the lateral orbital rim. The deformity can present as a consequence of extended coronal flap elevation for exposure of the lateral craniofacial skeleton. This study describes the anatomical and pathological features of the deformity and identifies causative factors. The series consists of unilateral temporal contour deformities after coronal flap elevation in 6 patients. A standardized data sheet was used in documenting details of the initial temporal dissection, clinical findings, and radiological features. Elevation of the temporal soft tissues was based on a qualitative analysis of coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans comparing the affected and the unaffected temporal regions. The MRI studies demonstrated normal volume of the temporalis muscle in all cases, with no evidence of atrophy or disinsertion of the muscle. Diminution in the volume of the superficial temporal fat pad was identified in 4 patients, whereas inferior displacement or prolapse of the superficial temporal fat pad was noted in 2 patients. |
