Cutaneous defects or burn sequels at the neck level present difficult of covering, due to the poor local tissues, although we should give a solution to the serious functional and aesthetic alterations with minimal sequels. We present a clinical case with burn sequels of the neck that produced important retraction and that was solved whit an island fasciocutaneous pedicle flap from subclavicular region. This flap has skin irrigation supported by the cutaneous arteries coming from the internal mammary artery and gives us the opportunity to solve these alterations at the neck level in an easy way and with minimal sequels in the donor area.

Palabras clave : Neck reconstruction; Fasciocutaneous flap; Island flap.
