A typical presenting concern in general practitioners' offices, emergency rooms, otolaryngology, and neurology departments are facial nerve paralysis. Penetrating injury to the nerve, especially iatrogenic damage, is one of most frequent traumatic reasons The paralysis that results from blunt trauma crushes frequently appears as an incomplete or delayed affected part will determine how manifest...

Facial nerve disorders encompass a broad spectrum of dysfunction, ranging from subtle dynamic facial asymmetry to complete, dense paralysis. Facial nerve regeneration following injury can vary greatly and may result in hypofunction (persistent weakness or poor excursion of facial muscles), hyperfunction (hypertonicity, spasm), or aberrant regeneration (synkinesis). The impact of a facial nerve ...

introduction: injury to cranial nerves ix, x, and xii is a known complication of laryngoscopy and intubation. here we present a patient with concurrent hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after rhinoplasty. case report: the patient was a 27-year-old woman who was candidate for rhinoplastic surgery. the next morning after the operation, the patient complained of dysphonia and a s...

We report a case of perineural invasion of the facial nerve by a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in a 59-year-old man who presented with a slowly progressive facial paralysis. We performed a distal facial nerve dissection and a simple mastoidectomy with facial recess exposure for resection to negative margins. We also performed a simultaneous facial reconstruction and reanimation procedure wi...

A retrospective analysis of 23 cases of post-traumatic facial nerve injury has been done. Majority of the cases had a conductive or a mixed deafness. The Schirmer's test has been considered to be one of the main indicators to determine the site of injury. The mastoid segment of the facial nerve was found to be injured in 52% of the patients. The surgical approach in patients with post-traumatic...
