Measurement of auditory brain stem potentials in Bell's palsy. 1985

E Shanon, and M Z Himelfarb, and D Zikk

Auditory brain stem potentials (ABP) were recorded in 27 patients with Bell's palsy during the early phase of the disease and 1-3 months later. Pathological findings were observed in 6 patients, the dominant features being prolonged brain stem transmission time and diminished amplitude of the second wave. The extension of the pathological process in the so called idiopathic peripheral facial paralysis appears to vary. The observation of brain stem involvement in some patients with Bell's palsy may have important clinical implications.

D005158 Facial Paralysis Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.
