Extratemporal facial nerve paralysis after blunt trauma. 1996

R Simo, and N S Jones

Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital, Nottingham, United Kingdom.

Presented are two patients in whom facial palsy developed after blunt trauma to the side of the face. Both patients made a complete and uneventful recovery. The etiology of a facial nerve lesion can be established through knowledge of the possible sites of injury to the facial nerve, good history taking and physical examination, together with appropriate tests. The prognosis of an injury secondary to blunt trauma is generally good.

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.
