Myoglobinopathy affecting facial and oropharyngeal muscles

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2022
Myoglobinopathy is a rare autosomal dominant myopathy that manifests in adulthood with proximal and axial weakness and variable respiratory and cardiac failure. Muscle pathology features associated with myoglobinopathy include characteristic sarcoplasmic bodies in skeletal and cardiac muscles.

Effect of Unilateral Partial Facial Paralysis on Periosteal Growth at the Muscle-Bone Interface of Facial Muscles and Facial Bones

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2003
In a previous study, the influence of the midfacial musculature upon growth and development of the maxilla and mandible was established macroscopically. Dry skull measurements revealed a reduced premaxillary, maxillary, mandibular, and anterior corpus length with a simultaneous increase in mandibular ramal height on the paralyzed side.

Muscle-Nerve-Muscle Grafting for Facial Reanimation in Rats

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2017
Objective: Facial paralysis is a devastating condition leaving patients with a myriad of aesthetic and functional consequences. Muscle-nerve-muscle (MNM) neurotization is a reinnervation technique that involves implanting an autogenous nerve graft as a conduit between an innervated “donor” muscle and a denervated “recipient” muscle. We investigated the

Facial muscle adaptation for expression customization

ACM SIGGRAPH 2007 posters, 2007
There are two major approaches to creating 3DCG facial expressions: The first is based on facial muscle simulation and the second is the blend-shape approach. The blend shape approach is more familiar to creators than the facial muscle approach when they synthesize the facial expressions of 3DCG characters.

FACIAL PARALYSIS AND MUSCLE-RELAXANT ANESTHESIA

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1956
THE FOLLOWING case report is presented primarily to forewarn otologists of the insidious danger of using succinylcholine-drip muscle-relaxant anesthesia in any surgical procedure where the identification of the seventh cranial nerve is important to its preservation. REPORT OF CASE A 32-year-old woman had chronic left mastoiditis of 10 years' duration.

Facial muscle spasms: An Australian study

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology, 1998
Abstract Purpose: A group of patients suffering from blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and Meige's syndrome were surveyed to determine the delay from the onset of their condition until a correct diagnosis was reached, the attitudes of practitioners towards them and their condition, the effect of their condition on their lifestyle and the effects of ...

Facial Paralysis and Muscle Agenesis in the Newborn

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1969
In RESPONSE to the need for accuracy in the differential diagnosis and prognosis of facial paralysis in the newborn, the appropriate electrodiagnostic tests have been performed under controlled general anesthesia. This method of evaluation has proven to be a practical solution to the recognized difficulties of early assessment of facial weakness in ...

Congenital partial absence of the facial muscles

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1998
Facial asymmetry in a newborn infant suggests various diagnoses, including birth trauma and congenital hemifacial microsomia. But congenital absence or hypoplasia of facial muscles has not been known except for the depressor anguli oris muscle (DAOM). The authors' experience with surgical treatment of congenital hypoplasia of the risorius, zygomaticus ...
