CHU Gaston Doumergue, Nîmes, France.

56 patients with Bell's palsy were tested with electroneuronography (ENoG and Blink reflex (BR) within the 5th and 15th day of onset of facial paralysis. The recovery at the end of evolution was evaluated with the study of facial function. This retrospective study showed that ENoG is able to predict with a very low risk of error a good prognosis when more than 10 percent (strictly, of fibers (non degenerated and blocked) are active. On the other hand only persistence or early recovery of BR can assure a good prognosis whereas the absence do not permit to conclude.

D004594 Electrophysiology The study of the generation and behavior of electrical charges in living organisms particularly the nervous system and the effects of electricity on living organisms.
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.
