To investigate the effectiveness of facial nerve-sublingual nerve parallel bridge anastomosis for facial nerve injury resulting from closed temporal bone fractures. Between January 2017 and December 2019, 9 patients with facial nerve injury resulting from closed temporal bone fracture caused by head and face trauma were treated. Among them, 5 patients were treated with facial nerve-sublingual nerve parallel bridge anastomosis (operation group), and 4 patients were treated with neurotrophic drugs combined with rehabilitation exercise (conservative group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, side, cause of injury, duration of facial nerve injury before surgery, House-brackmann grading (hereinafter referred to as HB grading) of facial nerve injury, and other general information between 2 groups ( P>0.05). HB grading was used to evaluate the improvement of facial nerve function before and after treatment. At the same time, facial nerve neuroelectrophysiological test was performed to evaluate the electrical activity of facial muscles before and after treatment. Tongue function, atrophy, and tongue deviation were evaluated after nerve anastomosis according to the tongue function scale proposed by Martins et al. Patients in both groups were followed up 12-30 months, with an average of 25 months. None of the 5 patients in the operation group showed symptoms such as tongue muscle atrophy, tongue extension deviation, hypoglossal nerve dysfunction (mainly including slurred speech, choking with water), postoperative infection, bleeding, lower limb muscle atrophy or lower limb motor dysfunction after sural nerve injury. Postoperative skin sensory disturbance in lateral malleolus area was found, but gradually recovered to normal. During the follow-up, facial nerve and sublingual motor neurons were innervated to paralyzed facial muscle in the operation group. At last follow-up, the HB grading of 5 patients in the operation group improved from preoperative grade Ⅴ in 2 cases, grade Ⅵ in 3 cases to grade Ⅱ in 3 cases, grade Ⅲ in 1 case, and grade Ⅳ in 1 case. And in the conservative group, there were 1 patient with grade Ⅴ and 3 patients with grade Ⅵ before operation, facial asymmetry continued during follow-up, and only 2 patients improved from grade Ⅵ to grade Ⅴ at last follow-up. There was significant difference in prognosis HB grading between the two groups ( t=5.693, P=0.001). In the operation group, the amplitude and frequency of F wave were gradually improved, and obvious action potential could be collected when the facial muscle was vigorously contracted. On the contrary, there was no significant difference in neuroelectrophysiological results before and after treatment in the conservative group. Facial nerve-sublingual nerve parallel bridge anastomosis can effectively retain the integrity of the facial nerve, while introducing the double innervation of the sublingual nerve opposite nerve, which is suitable for the treatment of severe incomplete facial nerve injury caused by closed fracture.
