LORITE-ALVARO, A.  e  LEON-LLERENA, C.M.. Internal mammary artery perforator flap (IMAP) in laryngeal chondroradionecrosis. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.4, pp.407-410. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922013000400011.

Laryngeal chondronecrosis is a rare and severe complication in patients undergoing radiotherapy. We report the case of a patient with severe laryngeal chondronecrosis treated with debridement and coverage with internal mammary artery perforator flap (IMAP). The flap was based on a perforator of the second intercostal space, previously located by hand-held doppler. The donor site was closed directly. The flap was viable at 100%, allowing adequate coverage, and was well adapted to the defect. The donor site healed without incident. The pedicled internal mammary artery perforator flap allows a reliable and suitable coverage for patients with laryngeal chondroradionecrosis.
