The temporoparietal fascial flap (TPFF) has been used as a pedicled, free, or composite flap with calvarial bone or hair-bearing skin in reconstruction of the defects of periorbital, mid-facial, auricular regions, and extremities.1-3 This thin, pliable, and highly vascularized flap, accepts skin grafts on both sides. Its anatomical proximity and minimal donor site mor-bidity provides a good option for the reconstructive surgeons. Since Brent et al reported secondary ear reconstruction with cartilage grafts covered by axial, random and free flaps of temporoparietal fascia, ana-tomical researches of temporal area gained populari-ty.4 When its advantages are combined with the sur-geon’s imagination, many treatment options can be created in reconstruction of the defects due to trauma, tumor resection, congenital deformities, and radiation treatment.
