To deliver a natural, aesthetically pleasing periorbital rejuvenation, restoration of the youthful lid-cheek junction and malar eminence is often essential. However, the management of malar bags is complex secondary to the diverse pathophysiology and varying severity of malar edema, mounds, and festoons. Treatment must be individualized based on extent and content. This scoping review updates the audience on the anatomy, pathophysiology, and evaluation of malar bags in addition to the latest literature regarding minimally invasive intervention and surgical refinements. A modernized treatment algorithm is proposed.

Meta-Analysis Review
PURPOSE
The role of adjuvant systemic corticosteroids in the management of periorbital cellulitis and subperiosteal/orbital abscesses secondary to sinonasal infections is not well understood. Our objective was to systematically review the current evidence on the efficacy and side effects of systemic steroids when used in the management of periorbital cellulitis.
METHODOLOGY
A systematic review of literature was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidance. A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases, MetaRegister and ISI conference proceedings was conducted. The outcomes of interest were duration of inpatient stay, requirement for surgical intervention, adverse effects and recurrent/residual symptoms.
RESULTS
Four studies were identified involving 118 patients. Of these, 78 underwent treatment with systemic corticosteroids and 40 were controls. Meta-analysis demonstrated that the mean duration of inpatient stay was significantly shorter in the steroid group (WMD - 2.90 days; 95% CI - 3.07, - 2.73; p < 0.00001). There were no significant differences in requirement for surgical intervention (RR 0.93; 95% CI 0.50, 1.75; p = 0.83). Side effects were reported in 6/78 patients (7.7%), with 5 patients showing signs of hyperactivity and 1 patient with insomnia. These were mild except in one case, which required early cessation of corticosteroids. There was one case of recurrence of symptoms in each cohort (steroid vs. non-steroid) following discharge.
CONCLUSIONS
The evidence suggests that systemic corticosteroids may offer some benefit in the management of periorbital cellulitis secondary to sinonasal infections. However, there is significant heterogeneity and risk of bias. A well-designed randomised controlled trial may provide a better insight into the efficacy of systemic steroids for this condition.

Meta-Analysis
OBJECTIVES
Postoperative periorbital edema and ecchymosis following rhinoplasty can result in dissatisfaction for both the surgeon and the patient. The goal of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the efficacy of steroids on edema and ecchymosis during rhinoplasty.
DATA SOURCES
MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Cochrane database.
REVIEW METHODS
Two authors independently searched the databases from their inception of article collection to February 2014. Studies comparing perioperative steroid administration (steroid group) with no treatment (control group) where the outcomes of interest were edema and ecchymosis on postoperative days were included in the analysis. Overall, a total of nine trials met the inclusion criteria of this study, with a total sample size of 312 patients.
RESULTS
The lower and upper eyelid edema during the 7 days postoperatively was statistically decreased in the steroid group versus control group. The lower and upper eyelid ecchymosis in the steroid group was significantly decreased in comparison to the control group for the first 4 days follow surgery. Regarding the outcome comparison between single-dose and multiple-dose administration of steroids, the multiple-dose administration decreased edema and ecchymosis significantly compared to single-dose administration after the fourth day.
CONCLUSIONS
Perioperative administration of steroid during rhinoplasty could reduce the level of edema and eyelid ecchymosis. Multiple-dose administration of steroids has more advantages in terms of the outcomes of late postoperative edema and ecchymosis compared to a single-dose regimen.

Review
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is known to be a prevalent chronic illness in young patients. Periorbital swelling in children with this condition is a recurring symptom, either with or without generalized edema. The current study aimed to examine the incidence and pattern of nephrotic syndrome in infants and children by thoroughly examining the recently available literature. A thorough search of PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar was conducted, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) model, to find pertinent material. The Rayyan software (Qatar Computing Research Institute, Ar-Rayyan, Qatar) was utilized during the whole process. Data from a total of 1418 patients from nine trials were considered in this study. Numerous factors influenced the incidence, mean age, sex dominance, and histological patterns in various sample groups. The current findings conclude that variations in socioeconomic, regional, and genetic factors influence the development and pattern of these diseases. The prevalence of pediatric renal disorders differs throughout countries. Season of occurrence, response to corticosteroid treatment, and histopathologic findings appear to differ amongst the diagnosed cases.

Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
In recent years, autologous fat grafting (AFG), also known as fat transfer or lipofilling, has been widely performed for periorbital rejuvenation and defect correction, although the evidence regarding its efficacy and safety is still lacking. Besides, with respect to the periorbital region, it is invariably the earliest appearance area of the facial aging phenomenon. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis is needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique.
METHODS
A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library databases on November 20, 2020, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, to identify all relevant articles. Then, a data extraction and standardization process was performed to assess all outcome data. Ultimately, the data were assessed using a random effects regression model with comprehensive meta-analysis software.
RESULTS
Thirty-nine studies consisting of 3 cohorts and 36 case series with a total of 4046 cases were included. Meta-analysis revealed a relatively high satisfaction rate of 90.9% (95% CI, 86.4%-94.0%). Frequent complications in 4046 patients receiving AFG were edema, chemosis, and contour irregularity, with an overall complication rate of 7.9% (95% CI, 4.8%-12.8%).
CONCLUSION
This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that AFG for rejuvenation of eyelids and periorbital area provided a high satisfaction rate and did not result in severe complications. Therefore, AFG might be performed safely for periorbital rejuvenation and reconstruction.

OBJECTIVE
Odontogenic sinusitis (ODS) can cause infectious orbital, intracranial, and osseous complications. Diagnosis and management of complicated ODS have not been discussed in recent sinusitis guidelines. The purpose of this systematic review was to describe epidemiological and clinical features, as well as management strategies of complicated ODS.
DATA SOURCES
PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library.
REVIEW METHODS
A systematic review was performed to describe various features of complicated ODS. All complicated ODS studies were included in qualitative analysis, but studies were only included in quantitative analysis if they reported specific patient-level data.
RESULTS
Of 1126 studies identified, 75 studies with 110 complicated ODS cases were included in qualitative analysis, and 47 studies with 62 orbital and intracranial complications were included in quantitative analyses. About 70% of complicated ODS cases were orbital complications. Only 23% of complicated ODS studies were published in otolaryngology journals. Regarding ODS-related orbital and intracranial complications, about 80% occurred in adults, and 75% were male. Complicated ODS occurred most commonly from apical periodontitis of maxillary molars. There were no relationships between sinusitis extent and orbital or intracranial complications. High rates of anaerobic and α-hemolytic streptococcal bacteria were identified in complicated ODS. Management generally included systemic antibiotics covering aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, and surgical interventions were generally performed to address both the complications (orbital and/or intracranial) and possible infectious sources (dentition and sinuses).
CONCLUSION
ODS should be considered in all patients with infectious extrasinus complications. Multidisciplinary management between otolaryngologists, dental specialists, ophthalmologists, and neurosurgeons should be considered to optimize outcomes.

Review
OBJECTIVE
Minimally invasive alternatives to the pterional craniotomy include the minipterional and the supraorbital craniotomy (SOC). The latter is performed via either an eyebrow or an eyelid skin incision. The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the type and the incidence of approach-related complications of these so-called "keyhole craniotomies".
METHODS
We review pertinent articles retrieved by search in the PubMed/Medline database. Inclusion criteria were all full-text articles, abstracts, and posters in English, up to 2016, reporting clinical results.
RESULTS
A total of 105 articles containing data on 5837 surgeries performed via a minipterional or either of the 2 variants of the SOC met the eligibility criteria. Pain on mastication was the most commonly reported approach-related complication of the minipterional approach, and occurred in 7.5% of cases. Temporary palsy of the frontal branch of the facial nerve and temporary supraorbital hypesthesia were associated with the SOC eyebrow variant, and occurred in 6.5%, respectively in 3.6% of cases. Transient postoperative periorbital edema and transient ophthalmoparesis occurred in 36.8% and 17.4% of cases, respectively, when the SOC was performed via an eyelid skin incision. The risk of occurrence of the latter 2 complications was related to the removal of the orbital rim, which is an obligatory part of the SOC approach through the eyelid but optional with the SOC eyebrow variant.
CONCLUSIONS
Each of the 3 keyhole approaches has a specific set and incidence of approach-related complications. It is essential to be aware of these complications to make the safest individual choice.

Review
Fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) includes non-invasive and invasive subtypes with the latter having significant morbidity and mortality. This systematic review aims to identify the imaging features most correlated with invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFRS) and present a checklist of these features to aid diagnosis. PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, and Science Direct were searched from inception to May 2023, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Primary research articles published in English describing the imaging features of IFRS were included. The systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Forty-eight articles were identified for inclusion. Six studies examined radiological features in acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS), and 9 studies of chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (CIFRS). A majority of studies did not specify whether IFRS cases were acute or chronic. On CT, bony erosion and mucosal thickening were the most common features. Other features include nasal soft tissue thickening, nasal cavity opacification, opacification of the affected sinus, and perisinus soft tissue infiltration. Extra-sinus extension was commonly observed on MRI, most often invading intraorbitally and intracranially. Other sites of extra-sinus extension included the cavernous sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, infratemporal fossa, masticator space, and facial soft tissue. IFRS is a condition with potential for high morbidity and mortality. Several radiological features are highly suggestive of IFRS. Early identification of high-risk radiological features using a checklist may aid prompt diagnosis and early treatment. Future research investigating the radiological differentiation between IFRS and other significant pathology including bacterial orbital cellulitis would be beneficial.

Review
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Pediatric orbital cellulitis/abscess (OCA) can lead to vision loss, intracranial extension of infection, or cavernous thrombosis if not treated promptly. No widely recognized guidelines exist for the medical management of OCA. The objective of this review was to summarize existing evidence regarding the role of inflammatory markers in distinguishing disease severity and need for surgery; the role of imaging in OCA evaluation; and the microbiology of OCA over the past 2 decades.
METHODS
This review was reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Searches were performed in MEDLINE (Ovid), Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, CINAHL (EBSCO), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), most recently on February 9, 2021.
RESULTS
A total of 63 studies were included. Most were descriptive and assessed to have poor quality with high risk of bias. The existing publications evaluating inflammatory markers in the diagnosis of OCA have inconsistent results. Computed tomography imaging remains the modality of choice for evaluating orbital infection. The most common organisms recovered from intraoperative cultures are Streptococcus species (Streptococcus anginosus group, group A Streptococcus, and pneumococcus) and Staphylococcus aureus. Methicillin-resistant S aureus in culture-positive cases had a median prevalence of 3% (interquartile range, 0%-13%).
CONCLUSION
This systematic review summarizes existing literature concerning inflammatory markers, imaging, and microbiology for OCA evaluation and management. High-quality evidence is still needed to define the optimal medical management of OCA.

Review
Although they can occur at all ages, orbital (OC) and periorbital cellulitis (POC) prevail in the pediatric population. Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is the most frequent predisposing factor of OC. Recent literature has suggested a medical management approach for OC and POC, with surgery reserved only for more severe cases. However, there is still a lack of consensus on the clinical markers of a need for surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to identify clinical markers of a need for surgery in children with OC. Our systematic review, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) process, yielded 1289 articles finally screened. This resulted in 31 full texts that were included in a qualitative analysis. The results of this review suggest that in children aged over 9 years, large subperiosteal orbital abscesses (SPOAs), impaired vision, ophthalmoplegia, proptosis, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and absolute neutrophil counts (ANC), hemodynamic compromise, no clinical improvement after 48/72 h of antibiotic therapy, and a Chandler III score or higher are clinical markers of the need for surgery. However, most of the studies are observational and retrospective, and further studies are needed to identify reliable and repeatable clinical markers of the need for surgery.
