Abstract
We describe the clinical cases of two pediatric patients who were treated with a total maxillectomy and chemo/ radiotherapy for suffering from malignant tumors of the maxilla. The reconstruction of the floor of the orbit was done with titanium micromesh and the defect in the maxilla and hard palate was reconstructed with free flaps. This allowed a quick swallowing rehabilitation and an excellent cosmetic result.
