[Abnormalities of recovery of the facial nerve]
Abstract:
This paper presents 235 cases of facial palsy. These cases are part of a group of 455 cases and they were chosen because their clinical study and evolution were well documented. Abnormalities of facial nerve recovery are described and the importance of each one with reference to the group is determined. Two cases of particular interest are described, and comments are offered on the incidence of abnormality of recovery according to the type of lesion and to the importance of the electrical dysfunction.
