The cheek is the largest anatomical subunit of the face. It is a bilateral structure and symmetry must therefore be preserved. Peripherally it is related to important natural orifices whose location must also be maintained during surgical reconstructions. This is particularly important in the medial zygomatic subunit, whose delicate junction with the lower eyelid means that care must be taken to avoid ectropion. We present 5 options for the reconstruction of surgical defects secondary to the excision of tumors in this region.

Retrobulbar Infiltrative Lipoma in a Dog.

Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA.
A 6-year-old castrated male mixed breed dog presented to the "Louisiana State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital &-anonymized for review" ophthalmology service with marked exophthalmos and lagophthalmos of the left eye and soft tissue swelling medial to the zygomatic arch. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, and it revealed a well-marginated, lobulated, homogenously fat density involving the retrobulbar space. Preliminary results of a fine-needle aspirate (FNA) and biopsy were not conclusive, and a modified transfrontal orbitotomy was performed to remove the mass.

Background: Many researchers have proposed incorporating orbital volume (OV) discrepancies between the affected and unaffected orbits into routine diagnostic processes as an indicator for early surgical repair of zygomatic complex fractures (ZMCFxs) to avoid postoperative ocular complications.
Purpose: The study aimed to determine the correlation between the preoperative OV discrepancy and postoperative globe position.
Study Design, Setting, Sample: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients with unilateral ZMCFxs associated with orbital floor fractures, treated at Al-Zahraa Hospital, Al-Azhar University, from January 2020 to July 2023.
Selective midfacial neurectomy for postparalytic facial nerve syndrome.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Ichikawa General Hospital, Tokyo Dental College, Ichikawa, Japan.
Chemodenervation with botulinum A toxin and neuromuscular retraining therapy are commonly performed as first-line treatments for postparalytic facial nerve syndrome (PFS). However, their effects are temporary, and side effects typically develop. Currently available selective neurectomy approaches are limited by variations in the anatomy of the peripheral branches of the facial nerve and the ability to reduce perioral synkinesis, but not periocular synkinesis.

Background: This investigation assessed patient satisfaction with a temporal incision technique using a super-high superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flap for midface lifting in a Chinese patient cohort.
Methods: From July 2019 to July 2023, 95 patients underwent midface lifts via a temporal incision approach at our institution. The extent of SMAS flap dissection spanned 2 cm above the outer canthus, to the lower margin of the zygomatic arch inferiorly, and medially to the zygomaticus major muscle.
Evaluation of the Normal Measurements of Orbital Structures in Healthy Adult Individuals by Using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Method.
Tomography
October 2024
Department of Radiology, Yuregir State Hospital, 01010 Adana, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the normal measurements of orbital structures in healthy adults, focusing on differences between males and females.
- Using MRI scans, researchers measured various aspects like the diameters of extraocular muscles and the length of the inter-zygomatic line in 102 individuals, totaling 204 orbits.
- Results showed that males generally have larger dimensions than females in all measured aspects, which may aid in diagnosing orbital conditions and establishing normative values.
