Application of shape memory alloys in facial nerve paralysis [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The Facial Nerve can be damaged at a peripheral level by a stroke or, for example by trauma or infection within the face or the ear. In these cases the facial muscles are paralysed with little or no chance of spontaneous recovery.
