Cross-face nerve transplantation in facial palsy. 1982

H Anderl

A two-stage technique of cross face nerve transplantation in facial palsy is presented. This operation is regarded a substitutional procedure with the mose physiological basis, but beyond the age of 50 other easier operations should be performed unless favourable conditions prevail. The results in 35 patients are reviewed. The cross face nerve transplantation never attain the quality of ipsilateral facial nerve repair, but in case of regeneration the operation is superior to all other substitution operations.

D005154 Facial Nerve The 7th cranial nerve. The facial nerve has two parts, the larger motor root which may be called the facial nerve proper, and the smaller intermediate or sensory root. Together they provide efferent innervation to the muscles of facial expression and to the lacrimal and SALIVARY GLANDS, and convey afferent information for TASTE from the anterior two-thirds of the TONGUE and for TOUCH from the EXTERNAL EAR.

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.
