Depressed forehead scars are not frequently reported in the literature in the West African sub-region. Although they are not commonly reported, few cases were managed and are to be documented. We had seen a case of depressed forehead scar which was due to post frontal avulsion injury of the forehead with an intact posterior table of the frontal bone. He complained of aesthetic and psychological problems of the scar on presentation. The scar revision was done with polymethylmethacrylate bone cement with simple wound closure based on patient's choice after counseling. The treatment outcome was satisfactory. We intend to highlight the use of polymethylmethacrylate bone cement and simple wound closure as an option in the revision of depressed forehead scars as well as add a report to the volume of literature from the sub-region.
在西非次区域的文献中，前额凹陷性瘢痕的报道并不常见。尽管此类报道不多，但仍有少数病例得到了治疗并有待记录。我们曾见过一例前额凹陷性瘢痕病例，其病因是前额撕脱伤，而额骨后板完整。患者就诊时抱怨瘢痕带来了美观和心理问题。在咨询后，根据患者的选择，使用聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯骨水泥进行瘢痕修复，并进行简单的伤口缝合。治疗效果令人满意。我们旨在强调聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯骨水泥和简单伤口缝合可作为修复前额凹陷性瘢痕的一种选择，并为该次区域的文献增添一份报告。
