no movement, electric reflectivity is absent, perineurium is normalspontaneous regeneration is possible Neurotmesis: no movement, electric reflectivity is absent, perineurium is distroyedspontaneous regeneration is impossible (anatomical lesion) Source: http://www.doksinet Developmental disorders Traumas Infections Tumours Bell’s palsy (idiopathic) Source: http://www.doksinet Bilateral absence of facial nuclei Sleeping Crying Laughing Source: http://www.doksinet Pyramid bone fracture Transversal fracture Prompt palsy – lesion of nerve Longitudinal fracture Prompt palsy – lesion of nerve Delayed palsy- perifocal edema Other traumas: Traumas of the face Iatrogenic traumas during ear, or parotid surgery Source: http://www.doksinet Bacterial infections: Mostly complication of acute or chronic middle ear infections Lyme borreliosis: Tick’s bite in case history, erythema migrans Viral infection: Influenza, herpes

tympani –tasting disorders- gustometria Electrodiagnostic tests Source: http://www.doksinet In every palsy case: Psychical support of patients Ophthalmological control (keratitis) Covering the eye-ball, eyedrops Electrotherapy, selective stimulation of the nerve or the muscles to prevent atrophy. In the recovery stadium -active movement . Source: http://www.doksinet Medical treatment: Corticosteroids (if no contraindications) Vitamin B , antihistamins, antiviral drugs (acyclovir) Surgery: Decompression- Fallopian canal opening-if no regeneration- after 3 months After complete axonotmesis no complete recovery Source: http://www.doksinet Headache is the most common complaint. Most of the cases have common cause. Sometimes diagnosis is a long and difficult procedure. Ear-nose-throat diseases can cause headache!
