Acquired facial deformities following cancrum oris sequelae manifested variably according to the nature of tissue necrosis. In cases that tissue loss extends over a wide area of the face, or the tissue nature is different due to congenital facial cleft, it is difficult to reconstruct with a single operation. As cancrum oris has virtually disappeared from our country, clinical report of reconstruction is also rare. We report 5 cases of facial deformities following cancrum oris sequelae. Since 1988, five adult patients(4 female and 1 male) were treated by authors. These patients, with an age ranged from 47 to 58 years, all suffered from acquired facial cleft such as facial mutilation, asymmetry. The stages of operation were from 1 to maximum of 5 operations. All surgeries achieved satisfactory results after a long-term follow-up. But one surgery in the case of palatal mucosal flap for the coverage of reconstructed maxilla alveolar bone resulted tissue sloughness, followed by osteomyelitis. Those were debrided and discarded. In conclusion, all sites of deformities were positioned around one of the oral commissures. In their past medical history, they have been suffering from measles, typhoid fever and unknown febrile illness. We diagnosed the acquired facial deformity following cancrum oris sequelae. The reconstruction of acquired facial deformity following cancrum oris sequelae were difficult due to extensive multiple tissue defects. Therefore multiple staged operations were inevitable. The authors reconstructed 5 cases of simple and complex form of facial deformity with minimum staged operations. All patients were satisfied functionally and cosmetically.

괴사성 치은염 (Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, NUG), 괴사성 치주염 (necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis, NUP), 괴사성 구내염(necrotizing stomatits, NS), 그리고 수암(noma, cancrum oris)은 급속도로 파괴적이며 쇠약하게 하는 잠재성이 큰 구강감염으로 질환의 같은 진행과정에 대해 다른 임상단계로 간주되기도 하나 집합적으로 Vincent's infection, infectious oral necrosis 또는 괴사성 치은구내염(Necrotizing gingivostomati-tis, NG)라고 한다. 이러한 necrotizing gingivostomatitis(NG)의 발생율은 $0.19{\sim}0.5%$이며 $2{\sim}6$세에 가장 높은 발병율을 보인다. Necrotizing gingivostomati-tis는 치명적인 바이러스 감염과 면역체계가 약화된 경우 발생할 수 있으며 주 진단학적 증상으로 동통, 치간유두 부위의 궤양이나 괴사, 치은출혈이 있으며 이차적인 증상은 위막 등이 있다. 이에 본원 소아과에서 의뢰되어 necrotizing gingivostomatitis로 진단받은 환아의 구강내 소견 및 치료경과에 대해 보고하고자 한다.
