Facial palsy: Facial muscle paralysis is caused by damage to the facial nerve that governs the facial muscles, so it is also called facial nerve palsy, which is called “mouth seclusion” or “mouth-eye distortion” in Chinese medicine. Depending on the location of nerve damage, facial palsy should be divided into peripheral facial palsy (peripheral facial nerve palsy) and central facial palsy (central facial nerve palsy), and the specific clinical manifestations of the two are also different. Peripheral facial palsy and otology because the facial nerve has a long alignment in the temporal bone, many inflammatory diseases, tumors and trauma in otolaryngology can lead to damage and lesions of the facial nerve, such as Bell’s facial palsy, herpes zoster of the ear, hemifacial spasm, temporal bone fracture and facial nerve tumor can all lead to facial palsy. The treatment of facial nerve diseases is one of the clinical characteristics of our department. We carry out a series of clinical work, including the diagnosis and treatment of various peripheral facial palsy, involving the qualitative and localized diagnosis of facial palsy, conservative drug treatment, various pathways of facial nerve decompression, nerve grafting, nerve anastomosis, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of hemifacial spasm and the prevention and treatment of facial palsy complications. Options for facial palsy treatment: If you have facial palsy, please visit the Department of Otolaryngology in time to have an ear physical examination and related audiology, ear nervous system, and temporal bone imaging examinations. The prognosis can be evaluated based on electrophysiological examinations such as facial electromyography. You can receive conservative treatment such as western medicine, physiotherapy, and Chinese herbal medicine, but for those with nerve degeneration of 90% or more within half a month after the onset of the disease, please undergo surgery as soon as possible in order to keep the chance of complications and sequelae to a minimum. Surgical treatment of peripheral facial palsy: Facial nerve surgery belongs to a branch of microsurgery. It includes decompression, anastomosis, grafting, etc. Facial nerve decompression surgery opens the facial nerve canal to completely free the compressed facial nerve, restores facial nerve microcirculation and nerve conduction block, promotes nerve regeneration, and reconstructs facial nerve conduction function. This procedure is currently the most effective treatment for acute severe facial palsy. Facial nerve anastomosis: This includes anastomosis of the severed ends on both sides after resection of the facial nerve lesion; anastomosis of the facial nerve with the hypoglossal nerve. Others include facial nerve grafting, combing of the vertical segment of the facial nerve, and facial correction surgery for advanced facial palsy.
