The author's impressions of this operation are not in her favor. The goal that the surgeon, resorting to such an operation, sets himself, namely, to return to the patient the lost symmetry of the face during rest, voluntary and affective movements, is not achieved at all.

A Prospective Study

BACKGROUND: Bell's palsy is an acute weakness of seventh cranial nerve leading to loss of movement on one side of the face. It usually recovers of its own without treatment in most of the patients but not all. Physical therapy in the form of electrotherapy, massage and facial exercises is used as adjuvant to hasten recovery. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the role of physiotherapy in the form of electrotherapy in patients with peripheral facial paralysis attending multispecialty hospital in Kashmir. METHODS: A prospective study was carried out on 50 patients of facial nerve paralysis attending OPD between Jan 2009 and Jan 2010. All of the patients were subjected to medical treatment. The patients were put to Physical Therapy in the form of electrotherapy followed by facial exercises. All patients received electrotherapy to the paralyzed facial muscles for a period of 2 weeks but some were given extended doses for 4 weeks. 20 patients presented for the treatment in the first week, 12 in second week and 18 presented after three weeks or later. RESULTS: Fifty patients (30 female, 20 male) of facial nerve paralysis were included. Time span between medical diagnosis and physical therapy was from 1 week to 4 weeks. Patients were assessed at 4 weeks, 2 months and 6 months after the treatment. Out of 20 patients who presented in 1st week and received steroids and electrotherapy 19(95%) had fully recovered except for one case that was irregular for treatment. Out of 12 Patients who presented in 2nd week of illness, 8(66.6%) patients had full recovery and partial recovery in rest of 4 (33.4%) patients. Eighteen patients (100%) who presented in third week onwards of illness had partial recovery. CONCLUSION: Physiotherapy in the form of electrotherapy and facial exercises has a effective role in the early management of peripheral facial palarlysis. JMS 2012;15(2):145-48

Background: Bell’s palsy is an acute idiopathic facial nerve paralysis of sudden onset. It is the most common cause of lower motor neuron facial nerve paralysis with an annual incidence of 15-30 per 100,000. The objective of this work is to study the prevalence and the management of Bell’s palsy in the Sudan. A descreptive retrospective cross-sectional study was carried at Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital, Khartoum General Teaching Hospital. In the retrospective, the records and files of 698 patients with Bell’s palsy, were reviewed in relation to age, gender, site, risk factors, season, and type of treatment. In addition, 48 patients with Bell’s palsy were evaluated using the House–Brackman scale in relation to the above-mentioned variables. Therefore, a total number of 746 cases were studied. Fifty five percent of them were females and the remaining 45% were males, around 38% of them were in the age group 21-40 year. Fifty seven percent of the patients were affected on the right side of the face. Winter was the commonest season of onset where 53.5% of the cases occurred. Steroids are the commonly prescribed drugs in majority of the cases, accounting for 47.3%. Study Design: The study is a retrospective cross sectional hospital based study. The study was carried out in Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital and in the Physiotherapy Department of Khartoum Teaching General hospital. The files and records of the patients with Bell’s palsy in Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital in the years 1/1/2004 -31/12/2008, and Khartoum Teaching General Hospital (physiotherapy department) in the years 2007- July 2009 (total number 746). Results: A total number of 746 cases were studied . Fifty five percent of them were females and the remaining 45% were male. Around 38% of them were in the group 21-40 year. Fifty seven percent of the patients were affected on the right side of the face. Winter was the commonest season of the onset where 53.5% of the cases occurred. Conclusion: The study showed predominance of females. A peak incidence was seen in the age group 21-40 years. A predilection was found for the right side of face.

Facial nerve palsy is a common condition affecting both genders and all age group. However, its incidence in pregnant females needs greater care. It may affect only lower half of the face or full one side of the face or in extreme condition bilateral sides. Symptoms include deviation of angle of mouth towards sound side, flattening of nasolabial folds, loss of forehead wrinkles and inability to completely close the eyelid along with loss of taste on anterior two third of tongue. Here we present a rare case report of facial nerve palsy in a pregnant woman in third trimester of pregnancy. She was offered an evidence based physiotherapy treatment regime along with pharmacological treatment and she recovered; however late complication of “Ptosis” was reported.

Background: Chronic osteomyelitis mandibula is one of the complications from dental extraction. Inadequate wound handling can have an impact on the spread of infection in the surrounding tissue like nerve which results in facial nerve paralysis. The purpose is to present a rare case that facilitative nerve paralysis as a result of the spread of osteomyelitis infectionCase Management: A 69 years old woman with chief complains numbness onher lips accompanied by pus out beside the lower teeth. No sistemic disease. Panoramic radiograph showed abnormal bone-like sequester. Extraoral examination appeared the bluish color on the right cheek and there was right facial muscle paralysis. Debridement, sequesterectomy by general anesthesia and medication using ceftriaxone intravenous, ketorolac injection, multivitamin, and corticosteroid, physiotherapy for facial nerve paralyze, also.Discussion: Pathogenesis mandibular osteomyelitis involves contiguous spreadfrom an odontogenic focus infection. The bacteria produce an exotoxin, which, while unable to cross the blood-brain barrier, can have deleterious effects on thePeripheral Nerve System (Fasialis Nerve) in up to 75% of cases, with the severity of presentation correlating with the severity of the infection.Conclusion: Chronic mandibular osteomyelitis can spread the infection to around another anatomy oral cavity like facials nerves.
