From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2004 Corticosteroids for Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial paralysis) (Cochrane Review) Salinas RA, Alvarez G, Alvarez MI, Ferreira J ABSTRACT Order full review View and/or submit comments What's new in this issue Search abstracts ... Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 15 October 2001. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Inflammation and oedema of the facial nerve are implicated in causing Bell's palsy. Corticosteroids have a potent anti-inflammatory action which should minimise nerve damage and thereby improve the outcome of patients suffering from this condition. Objectives: The objective of this review was to assess the effect of steroid therapy in the recovery of patients with Bell's palsy. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Neuromuscular Disease Group register for randomised trials, as well as MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS (to December 2000). We contacted known experts in the field to identify additional published or unpublished trials. Selection criteria: Randomised trials comparing different routes of administration and dosage schemes of corticosteroid or adrenocorticotrophic hormone therapy versus a control group where no therapy considered effective for this condition was administered, unless it was also given in a similar way to the experimental group.

Publications Measuring and Documentation System for Facial Paralysis and Neuromuscular Reconstruction The results of neuromuscular reconstructions in the paralysed face are difficult to be assessed. In the face sophisticated methods are necessary to measure the motor deficits of facial paralysis or the functional recovery. The aim of the project is to develop a simple system for data acquisition and data analysis in 3 dimensions. The software for standardised 3-D analysis of the video documented facial movements as well a data presentation helping in reconstruction planning and in tracking the healing progress. A complete prototype system has been realised and installed at the University Hospital of Vienna. It consists of a data acquisition system (Video Camera, calibration cube and mirror-system), a tracking and analysis system and presentation software. Meanwhile, several data acquisition systems have been placed in three more hospitals in Europe (Pisa, Oslo, Stockholm) and Canada. To date about 200 patients have been measured and analysed. The feedback from the medical doctors shows, that the measuring and analysis system is a very helpful tool in planning facial paralysis reconstruction operations and during the rehabilitation process.

THE EFFECTS OF FACIAL PARALYSIS AFTER SURGERY FOR ACOUSTIC NEUROMA by Charlotte Sheard. Authors: Ms T Cross, Mrs C E Sheard, Dr Paul Garrud and Mr G O'Donoghue M.Ch. FRCS This paper gives details of findings from a study conducted at the Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, into the effects of facial paralysis after surgery for acoustic neuroma which many BANA members participated in. Introduction The study was initiated by an ENT consultant at the Queen's Medical Centre who believed that the distress his patients experienced following acoustic neuroma operations was not always in proportion to the extent of their facial paralysis. Despite surgical advances many people still suffer from some degree of facial paralysis after surgery to remove an acoustic neuroma. Little research has been done on the psychological effects of facial paralysis after surgery and even less on how severity of the paralysis, gender or length of time since the operation may affect people. A study of 541 acoustic neuroma patients in the USA, Canada and Australia found that over a third of patients reported they were suffering from depression and anxiety. An English study found that facial nerve function was not significantly associated with quality of life after the operation.

Site Map Facial Paralysis Childbirth can be a very complicated process that exposes a baby and a mother to physical harm. Birth injuries can commonly be suffered and range in severity. Facial paralysis is a condition caused by compression of the facial nerves. In some difficult deliveries facial paralysis is just an unfortunate result of the birthing process, while some facial paralysis has occurred for no apparent reason. The facial paralysis can be suffered while the infant is still inside of the uterus or while being delivered. Depending on the extent of the compression, the facial paralysis can affect the entire side of the infant's face from the forehead to chin. Most commonly, facial paralysis will involve just the lower branch of the facial nerve that controls muscles around the lips. A doctor and parents will be able to recognize if there is lower branch facial paralysis when the infant cries probably since the condition is more apparent then.

Facial Paralysis Posted by Randy on October 27, 19102 at 13:27:03: Would love to "chat" with those that suffered from facial paralysis after surgery. I'm 4 months post-op, and still nothing that I can perceive. My tumor was 3.5cm, was removed at the House Clinic by the Trans Lab approach. My facial nerve was left intact and was actually doing just fine until about 8 hours after surgery and then decided to shut down. I recently had a spring put in my eyelid so that I can close my it. It has only given me marginal relief, but maybe I just need to learn how to work my "bionic eye." I continue to be told that everything will come back in time. How much time? I hope someone that has suffered the same plight will respond, I either need some encouragement, or a dose of reality...maybe it will never come back.

I was diagnosed in March 2000. I underwent surgery in October of that year. I was left with a facial paralysis. My doctor recommends having a nerve graft, in which they take have of the nerve from my tongue. This procedure is called the twelefth and fifth. I would like to hear from someone who has had this procedure done. How successful was this surgery for you? Please reply to my situation as soon as possible on this matter, as I am scheduled for surgery on April 9, 2002. Thank you Hi mario. My name is Tom Rogers and yes I have had the nerve graft done. The nerve graft was done to help the paralsis i have in my face. I think it was sucessful, because it improved the tone in my face. It did not help the feeling in my face, but it helped me feel better about myself. Very sucssful is when they added a gold weight to my eye to help it close My case was somewhat extreme in that my tumor keeps coming back! I just wish that other parts of me were so resiliant!

Additional Resources Overview of Services FACIAL RETRAINING PROGRAM Facial expression is our primary form of nonverbal communication. It is how we present ourselves to the world and the way in which others can tell how we're feeling. Facial paralysis not only limits our ability to show emotion, it can produce functional deficits, including inability to close the eyes and difficulty eating, drinking and speaking. In addition to causing discomfort, facial paralysis can also affect self-esteem. What is the Facial Retraining Program?

K.; KPEMISSI, E.; NACK-NACK, M.; ANANI, J.; AGBOLI, K.; PRINCE-DAVID, M.; GRUNITZKY, E. K. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of HIV in a group of 150 patients with PFP and to study the semiological and evolutive aspect of PFP in patients without HIV. There was no difference on clinical features between patients with or without HIV infection. Cerebrospinal fluid was normal in patient without HIV infection, but it showed pleiocytosis in patient with HIV infection (87,88 %). Of the HIV carriers, 14 % presented a recurrence. A total of 26,32 % of the patients screened in 1990 developped AIDS when followed up. Peripheral Facial Paralysis is frequently associated to HIV infection. An HIV test must be proposed to all patient with PFP in Africa.
