OBJECTIVE: To examine the prognostic value of electroneuronography (ENoG) in predicting functional recovery in severe cases of acute facial palsy. METHODS: Patients with severe degrees of facial palsy (initial House-Brackmann [HB] grades IV to VI) with available electrodiagnostic studies conducted 2-4 weeks after symptom onset were reviewed retrospectively. The patients were categorized into "good recovery" and "poor recovery" groups, with the former showing mild to no dysfunction (HB I to III) and the latter exhibiting moderate to severe dysfunction (HB IV to VI) on follow-up evaluation, 2 months after onset...

BACKGROUND: Bell's palsy is a condition affecting cranial nerve VII that results in acute peripheral unilateral facial weakness or paralysis of unclear etiology. Corticosteroids are the primary therapy choice, because they improve outcomes. According to a recent study, prednisolone effectively treats Bell's palsy in the short and long term. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of Single-Dose Intravenous Methylprednisolone to Oral Prednisolone in treating Bell's palsy patients...

We report on an aggressive, infiltrating, metastatic, and ultimately lethal basaloid type of carcinoma arising shortly after an mRNA vaccination for COVID-19. The wife of the patient, since deceased, gave the consent for publishing the case. The malignancy was of cutaneous origin and the case showed symptoms consistent with Bell's palsy and trigeminal neuralgia beginning four days post-vaccination (right side head temporal pain). The temporal pain was suggestive for inflammation and impairment of T cell immune activation...

BACKGROUND: Post-rhytidectomy hemifacial paralysis is a frightening clinical condition affecting the proximal facial nerve and most often associated with Bell's Palsy. Associated symptoms are common and include auditory, salivary, vestibular and gustatory complaints. OBJECTIVES: To provide increased awareness of post-rhytidectomy hemifacial paralysis secondary to Bell's Palsy in the plastic surgery community. METHODS: Following a round-table discussion with the senior author's plastic surgery colleagues located all over the world, 8 surgeons reported having had first-hand experience with hemi-facial paralysis in patients following facelift...

Bell's palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis, affecting one in every 60 people in their lifetime. Transcutaneously applied selective electrical muscle stimulation could potentially accelerate recovery from Bell's palsy but this intervention remains controversial. Studies have shown benefit, but concerns for lack of efficacy and potential for worsening synkinesis remain. We performed a prospective controlled trial comparing outcomes at initial recovery and six months later with selective electrical muscle stimulation and usual physical therapy versus usual physical therapy alone in adults with acute Bell's palsy...

Peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) is a common condition where oxidative stress (OS) is involved in the pathophysiology of facial paralysis, inhibiting peripheral nerve regeneration, which can be featured in Bell's palsy, Ramsay Hunt syndrome and Lyme disease. The current standard care treatments lack consensus and clear guidelines. Hence, the utilization of the antioxidant immunomodulator photobiomodulation (PBM) can optimize clinical outcomes in patients who are unresponsive to standard care treatments. Our study describes three unique cases of chronic PFP of various origins that were unresponsive to standard care treatments, but achieved a significant and complete recovery of facial paralysis following PBM therapy...

A 73-year-old female developed right facial paralysis of House-Brackmann (H-B) grade III and was diagnosed with Bell's palsy. After three months of steroid therapy, she developed progressive hearing loss, and an MRI revealed a tumor in the right internal auditory canal. Within a few months, the right facial nerve palsy recurred, and the patient was treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery. The tumor in the irradiated region disappeared, but new dysphagia was observed, and a right parotid gland tumor was detected for the first time...

BACKGROUND: Paralysis of the facial nerve (CN VII) is one of the most debilitating issues that any patient can encounter. Bell's palsy is the most commonly seen mononeuropathy. Although usually self-limited, symptomatology can persist for decades in persistent cases. The non-surgical alternative therapies discussed in this study are successful without reconstruction and are regenerative. OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: We sought to determine a safe new treatment could be developed to restore facial nerve function using extracellular vesicles (EVs) in patients who have been unable to return to normal under a variety of conditions...

Prior studies exploring the effectiveness of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) treatment for facial palsy have mainly focused on Bell's palsy, and there are few studies on the effectiveness of TKM treatments for traumatic facial palsy following mandibular fracture. The patient was a 24-year-old Korean man with left-sided facial paralysis following a left mandibular fracture. Surgery was performed for the fracture and the facial palsy was treated using conventional medicine (CM) treatments for approximately 3 months, but there was no improvement observed in the patient's condition...

BACKGROUND: The plasma atherogenic index (AIP) is used as an indicator of cardiovascular risk. Abnormal lipid levels have been shown to potentially contribute to facial nerve inflammation observed in Bell's palsy. This study sought to investigate the association of AIP with the severity and prognosis of Bell's palsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: AIP is calculated using the equation Log (triglyceride [mg/dL]/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [mg/dL]). The study was conducted prospectively on 79 patients diagnosed with Bell's palsy...

BACKGROUND: While the etiology of Bell's palsy (BP) is largely unknown, current evidence shows it may occur secondary to the immune response following a viral infection. Recently, BP has been reported as a clinical manifestation of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). OBJECTIVES: To investigate an association between COVID-19 infection and BP. Additionally, to evaluate the need for COVID-19 testing in patients who present with BP. METHODS: Hospital records of patients who presented to a single tertiary care center with BP in 2020 and 2021 were reviewed for presenting symptoms, demographics, COVID-19 infection and vaccination status...

Bell's palsy is an idiopathic, acute, unilateral peripheral facial nerve paralysis, where incomplete or failed recovery causes substantial social and psychological stress to the patient, seriously influencing their quality of life and social activities. We conducted a bibliometric investigation of the knowledge structure and frontier hotspots in Bell's palsy research. Bell's palsy publications between 2002 and 2021 were retrieved from Web of Science. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and an online bibliometric platform were used for visual, burst, citation, and co-occurrence analyses, respectively...

This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the degree and vector of commissure excursion following intraoral orthodromic temporalis transfer. Patients with unilateral facial paralysis who underwent intraoral temporalis transfer were included. Intra-oral coronoidectomy was followed by submucosa tunneling through two vertical intraoral incisions to fixate the temporalis tendon to the perioral location. Oral commissure excursion, upper lip and commissure height differences, and smile angle were measured. Postoperatively, the symmetry of commissure excursion improved in repose (affected side: 114...

OBJECTIVE: Epidemiological and clinical studies have shown that sharp changes in the ambient temperature are associated with the occurrence and development of Bell's palsy. However, the specific pathogenesis of peripheral facial paralysis remains nebulous. This study investigated the effect of cold stress on transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 2 (TRPV2) secretion by Schwann cells and its role in Bell's palsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Schwann cell morphology was observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM)...
