Disease relevance of Facial Paralysis

 

High impact information on Facial Paralysis

  • As for the hoxb-1 mutations, the facial paralysis observed in mice homozygous for the hoxb-2 mutation results from a failure to form the somatic motor component of the VIIth (facial) nerve which controls the muscles of facial expression [6].
  • Recently, we have discovered that the gonadal steroid, testosterone propionate (TP), accelerates recovery from facial paralysis in the hamster by increasing the rate of regeneration of the fastest regrowing axons [7].
  • Our objective was to determine the diagnostic value of CSF examinations in the diagnosis of neuroborreliosis in children with peripheral facial palsy (PFP) [8].
  • One patient had a complete facial palsy and sensorineural deafness on the involved side after surgery, with recurrence of the spasm 6 months later [9].
  • However, after the discontinuation of acyclovir therapy, peripheral facial palsy occurred on the left side [10].

Gene context of Facial Paralysis

  • Nucleotide variation analysis does not support a causal role for plexin-A1 in hereditary congenital facial paresis [16].
  • OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTX A) into the orbicularis oculi muscle and lacrimal gland in patients with aberrant regeneration after facial palsy (facial synkinesias and hyperlacrimation) [22].
  • We describe a 9-year-old girl with the diagnosis of MRS who had episodic swelling of the upper lip and complete peripheral facial palsy, associated with herpes and recurrent bacterial infections [23].
  • In total, 100 sera obtained from patients with acute peripheral facial palsy were tested and judged blindly by two investigators [24].
  • Facial palsy began on average 7.6 years after the onset of MS but in five patients (4.7%) was the first symptom of MS, preceding the next MS symptom by 0.5-3 years [25].
