Maxillomandibular Advancement Outcomes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Age and Gender
This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 36 studies (608 patients) found that maxillomandibular advancement significantly improves polysomnographic, cephalometric, and subjective measures of obstructive sleep apnea across both sexes and throughout the lifespan. Odds of surgical cure decline roughly 3% per year of age.

Orbital Lymphatic Malformations Are Associated With Intracranial Vascular Anomalies
In this retrospective series, all seven patients with orbital lymphatic malformations had intracranial vascular anomalies consistent with cerebrofacial venous metameric syndrome and hotspot PIK3CA variants identified through tissue‐based sequencing. Five patients treated with alpelisib experienced symptom improvement within 6 months.
