Anteriorly Based Middle Turbinate Flap for Skull Base Reconstruction: A Cadaveric Study and Case Series
The ABMTF is a novel random flap, vascularized by branches of the anterior ethmoid artery, that is effective in skull base reconstruction and CSF leak repair emanating from the anterior skull base between the frontal recess and the posterior ethmoid artery along the ethmoid roof. This flap is versatile with limited morbidity.
