Fifty-six cases of Bell's palsy that were examined and diagnosed with neuro-otologic and electrodiagnostic methods were treated with facial nerve decompression. Transmastoid posterior tympanotomy decompression of the facial nerve from the geniculate ganglion to the stylomastoid foramen was performed. The operative results of the 56 cases were as follows: satisfactory 23, fair 30 and moderate 3 respectively. 3 cases of mild high frequency hearing loss and 2 cases of eardrum perforation were found during follow-up. Factors correlated with curative effect, indication and precautions of operation were discussed.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D011183	Postoperative Complications	Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

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.
