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.

Blast Injuries to the Facial Nerve

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1994
The recommended treatment of penetrating traumatic facial nerve injuries associated with Immediate, total paralysis of the ipsilateral facial muscles generally includes facial nerve exploration and repair.

Iatrogenic facial nerve injury during otologic surgery

The Laryngoscope, 1994
AbstractPerhaps the most devastating complication in otologic surgery is that of inadvertent injury to the facial nerve. A review of 22 patients who had sustained an iatrogenic facial nerve injury was conducted. Although the most common procedure being performed during the injury was mastoidectomy (55%), a surprising number of patients had injury ...

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].
