Rehabilitation of facial nerve palsy. 1991

J E O'Connell, and P E Robin

Dudley Road Hospital, Birmingham, UK.

Forty-nine patients underwent 158 procedures (including 19 revisions) for complete facial palsy. The variety of causes of facial palsy are enumerated, with the various procedures used to rehabilitate the face. Some improvement is invariably achieved. It is concluded that a readiness to intervene with a wide choice of procedures as early as realistically possible offers the best outcome in function and cosmetic appearance.
