Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a clinical entity affecting the peripheral nerve system mainly. We present here a Colombian man, 37 year-old, who presented MMN, and interestingly, displayed abnormal responses in the blink reflex after electrical stimulation of the supraorbital nerves. These findings allow us to suggest that the lesion distribution in MMN mostly the subclinical one, seems to be more widespread than usually thought.

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.
