A case study is presented, which involved reconstructing the rhino-maxillary effects of leprosy in an adult male. It is suggested that such reconstruction illustrations could have an important role in communicating ideas both to specialists and particularly to non-specialists, and may also be valuable as research tools in their own right.</p>  a0140-511X
