ABSTRACT

Yang was the first person to describe the radial forearm free flap in 1981. Since then, it has been widely used for reconstruction of soft tissue defects resulting from surgical excision of head and neck cancers. This is the case of a 47- year-old man with a history of retinoblastoma treated with enucleation, split-thickness skin graft and radiotherapy, who presented severe orbital contracture and radionecrosis who merited exenteration and orbital reconstruction using a radial forearm free flap. The radial free flap is useful for the reconstruction of the radiated orbit, as it provides sufficient tissue with a suitable size and thickness that enables filling the covering and covering the outer surface.
