Summary

Peripheral facial palsy cases in Petropolis were linked to viral infections, with most cases occurring during autumn months. This study analyzes the incidence, seasonality, and treatment outcomes of these "a frigore" palsies.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Presents 83 cases of "a frigore" peripheral facial palsy in Petropolis, a tropical mountain city.
  • Analyzes cases occurring within a year, correlating them with viral infections.
  • Includes data from 56 patients with follow-up and 25 with limited reports.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the etiology, incidence, prevalence, treatment, and results of "a frigore" peripheral facial palsy.
  • To analyze the seasonal distribution of these cases in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • To explore the relationship between viral infections and peripheral facial palsy in a specific climate.

Summary:

  • The study identified 83 cases of "a frigore" peripheral facial palsy, with a peak incidence during May, August, September, and October.
  • Viral infections are suggested as a primary cause, with seasonal patterns observed.
  • Etiology, incidence, prevalence, treatment, and patient outcomes were examined.

Impact:

  • Provides insights into the epidemiology of peripheral facial palsy in tropical mountain climates.
  • Highlights the importance of considering viral infections and seasonal factors in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Contributes to understanding the geographical and climatic influences on neurological disorders.
