Cabin JA, Massry GG, Azizzadeh B. Botulinum toxin in the management of facial paralysis. Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg . 2015; 23(4):272-280. EBM level 4.................................................................................................224-233 Summary : This manuscript is written as a review of the literature describing the use of botulinum toxin for managing sequelae of facial paresis such as synkinesis, hyperkinesis, and hyperlacrimation. The authors also highlight the possible role of botulinum toxin in the acute paresis phase. The role of physical therapy is stressed. E. Facial fractures Delaney SW. Treatment strategies for frontal sinus anterior table fractures and contour deformities. J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg . 2016; 69(8):1037-1045. EBM level 5.................................................................................................234-242 Summary : This article reviews different approaches in the treatment of anterior table frontal sinus fractures. Delayed contour deformity camouflage can be achieved using many different materials. Advancement in endoscopic technology and expertise has created a paradigm shift toward a less invasive approach to the frontal region, with considerably less morbidity than conventional open techniques.

Summary : This article reviews an evidence-based methodology in facial fracture management. It highlights the few areas of facial trauma in which randomized studies and meta-analysis are available. The article examines the future of facial trauma care in which clinical registries and health databases may be better able to answer clinical questions too complex to be addressed by clinical trials.

EBM level 4.........254-264 Summary : This study is a case series reviewing the authors’ experience in treating 303 ears with deformities (prominent, lidding, conchal crus, Stahl, and helical rim deformities) and 175 ears with malformations (constricted ears and cryptotia). Blinded photographic assessment was performed. Doft MA, Goodkind AB, Diamond S, et al. The newborn butterfly project: a shortened treatment protocol for ear molding.

Summary : This paper suggests that if earlier molding is adopted, the time required for molding can be decreased to 2 weeks from 6 to 8 weeks.
