Abstract
The temporalis musculofascial flap can be pre-expanded to increase its area prior to transfer. The large size of the preexpanded flap enabled orbital reconstruction to be carried out in a postirradiated orbit in a three-year-old girl. The flap was split, transferred in two parts, and covered with a buccal mucosal graft. A prosthetic shell was satisfactorily fitted postoperatively.
