Some Aspects of Facial Nerve Paralysis


MG Potgieter

Abstract

Paralysis of the facial nerve can cause a great deal of anxiety and discomfort to the patient, as it is intimately involved in emotional expression. A lesion anywhere on its entire course can usually be pinpointed and this is important in the treatment and prognosis. A uniform way of expressing the degree of facial paralysis is suggested.
