Abstract
A study was made of the facial regions of 10 fresh cadavers. The vascular anatomy of the perinasal region and the septum consistently confirmed the existence of a nasal alar basal artery and a nasal alar basal nerve to the septum. A new septal chondromucosal flap, supplied by the nasal alar basal artery and nerve, is proposed in this article. The composite flap can be used safely to restore partial or entire tarsoconjunctival defects of the upper or lower eyelid or combined defects of the upper and lower eyelid.
