Objective:
To evaluate the surgical treatment to facial nerve paralysis of different pathogeny.
Method:
Thirty-seven patients were reviewed, including Bell's Palsy (5 patients), temporal bone fracture (20 patients), media otitis (cholesteatoma) (4 patients), facial neuroma and cranio-maxillo-facial operation trauma (8 patients). All the patients were treated by different surgical methods according different pathogeny.
Result:
The mean percentage facial function improvement (House-Brackmann Grade I-II) was 80% to Bell's Palsy and temporal bone fracture, 100% to media otitis (cholesteatoma). Facial function of three patients improved from House-Brackmann Grade IV to III, two patients had no obvious improvement about facial neuroma; three patients improved from Grade V to III, one improved to IV about cranio-maxillo-facial operation trauma.
Conclusion:
Patients of facial nerve paralysis got better curative effect if treated by proper surgical therapy according different pathogeny.
