Transtympanic facial nerve injury in welders

Occupational Medicine, 1994
The risk for ear injury from molten metal or hot sparks produced during welding procedures is small, but the effects can be significant. Burns, tympanic membrane perforations and chronic otorrhoea are the most common results. Rare cases of inner ear injury and facial nerve paralysis have also been reported.

Reconstruction of Facial Nerve Injuries in Children

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2011
Facial nerve trauma is uncommon in children, and many spontaneously recover some function; nonetheless, loss of facial nerve activity leads to functional impairment of ocular and oral sphincters and nasal orifice. In many cases, the impediment posed by facial asymmetry and reduced mimetic function more significantly affects the child's psychosocial ...

Gunshot Injuries to the Intratemporal Facial Nerve

1994
The frequency of gunshot injuries is escalating in American urban centers; consequently, the otolaryngologist is confronting increasing numbers of penetrating injuries to the head and neck. The incidence of temporal bone involvement in penetrating head injuries approximates 20% [1], facial nerve paralysis develops in over 50% of these cases [4].

Facial nerve injury in cochlear implantation

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1993
We present eight cases of FN dysfunction after cochlear implantation. Four mechanisms of injury are proposed. The most common injury occurs from the heat of a bur shaft rotating over the FN in the facial recess. Several suggestions are made to help prevent the type of injuries we have seen.

Facial Nerve Repair in Acute Facial Nerve Injury

2016
The Facial nerve functions to power the voluntary mimetic muscles of the face. Besides conveying emotion, normal function of mimetic muscles provides corneal protection through blinking and oral competence via lip tonicity. Injury to any of the extra-temporal facial nerve branches may compromise one or all of these functions.

Surgical Management of Facial Nerve Injuries

Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, 2001
The comprehensive management of facial nerve injuries requires a surgeon with a number of available methods of reconstruction at his or her disposal. Comprehensive evaluation or documentation of injury is required to determine the most appropriate timing and method of surgical intervention.

Surgical management of iatrogenic facial nerve injuries

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1994
Surgical management of an latrogenic facial nerve injury represents a significant challenge for the otologic surgeon. The decision to perform facial nerve grafting is a difficult one and is based on the extent of injury to the nerve. We conducted a review of 22 patients who had sustained latrogenic facial nerve injuries during otologic surgery that ...

WAR INJURIES TO THE MASTOID AND THE FACIAL NERVE

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1946
IN A SERIES of 4,400 battle casualties requiring surgical treatment admitted to an army general hospital overseas, there were 21 patients with injury to the mastoid portion of the temporal bone or to the facial nerve or to both. Of this number there were 6 patients (cases 1, 2, 3,4, 5 and 6) with injury to the mastoid area. Two patients (cases 7 and 8)

Interfascicular Nerve Repair: Is it Applicable in Facial Nerve Injuries?

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1980
The reapproximation of individual fascicles has been advocated as a microsurgical method of improving neural regeneration following peripheral nerve injuries. To date, this technique has met with limited success, in part owing to an unclear understanding of the anatomic location of fibers in the proximal nerve relative to their distal distribution on ...
