Zusammenfassung:	An emergency free rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap was used to reconstruct a massive facial gunshot wound with associated cranial communication immediately after the primary debridement. The bony defect was reconstructed with split calvarial and rib grafts, plates, and screws. The free flap provided adequate coverage of the bony reconstruction and separation of the cranial and sinus cavities.
