ABSTRACT
Gynoid lipodystrophy (GLD) is a structural, inflammatory, and biochemical disorder of the subcutaneous tissue causing alterations in the topography of the skin. Commonly known as "cellulite," GLD affects up to 90% of women, practically in all stages of the life cycle, beginning in puberty. It is a clinical condition that considerably affects the patients' quality of life. It is a frequent reason for consultation, although the patients resort to empirical, improvised, nonevidence-based treatments which discourage and can be a source of frustration not only because of the lack of results but also due to the complications derived from those treatments. In this article, a panel of experts from different specialties involved in the management of this clinical skin disorder presents the results of a systematic literature search and of the consensus discussion of the evidence obtained from different treatments currently available. The analysis was divided into topical, systemic, noninvasive, and minimally invasive treatments.

La celulitis orbitaria comprende dos patologías bien diferenciadas desde un punto de vista anatomoclínico: la forma preseptal y la postseptal. Constituye una enfermedad infecciosa relativamente frecuente en la edad pediátrica que, normalmente, es secundaria a sinusitis. Presentamos una revisión de esta patología haciendo especial hincapié en el cambio etiológico acontecido en la última década tras la vacunación sistemática contra Haemophilus influenzae tipo B. (AU)
