Long-term functional recovery after facial nerve transection and repair in the rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: The rodent model is commonly used to study facial nerve injury. Because of the exceptional regenerative capacity of the rodent facial nerve, it is essential to consider the timing when studying facial nerve regeneration and functional ...

Facial Nerve Neuroma

open access: yesEar, Nose & Throat Journal, 1994
Facial nerve neuromas are uncommon, slow-growing neoplasms that may occur anywhere along the course of the facial nerve from the brainstem to the facial muscles. The signs and symptoms are characteristic and vary with the anatomic site of origin. Surgery should not be attempted until a complete and thorough diagnostic examination has been completed ...

Facial nerve in skullbase tumors: imaging and clinical relevance

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Facial nerve, the 7th cranial nerve, is a mixed nerve composed of sensory and motor fibers, and its main branch is situated in the cerebellopontine angle. Facial nerve dysfunction is a debilitating phenomenon that can occur in skullbase tumors and Bell’s

Research status of facial nerve repair

open access: yesRegenerative Therapy, 2023
The facial nerve, also known as the seventh cranial nerve, is critical in controlling the movement of the facial muscles. It is responsible for all facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, and moving the eyebrows.

Three-dimensional superimposition for patients with facial palsy: an innovative method for assessing the success of facial reanimation procedures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Facial palsy is a severe condition that may be ameliorated by facial reanimation, but there is no consensus about how to judge its success. In this study we aimed to test a new method for assessing facial movements based on 3-dimensional analysis of the ...

Facial Soft-tissue Mobility: Baseline Dynamics of Patients with Unilateral Facial Paralysis

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2018
Background:. The aims of this observational study were 2-fold: (1) To demonstrate a method and measures to quantify impaired facial soft-tissue movements in patients with facial paralysis; and (2) To quantify the differences in magnitude and velocity of ...

Bilateral Facial Paralysis Caused by Temporal Bone Fracture: A Case Report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Introduction: Although bilateral facial nerve palsy is a rare condition, its etiology is more detectable than the unilateral type. A temporal bone fracture is one cause of bilateral facial nerve palsy, contributing in 3% of the cases.
