[Contralateral reinnervation in peripheral facial paralysis].

N Kilimov

    Fortschritte Der Neurologie-Psychiatrie
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Contralateral reinnervation of facial palsy muscles by the intact facial nerve is possible. Patient age and disease duration do not appear to influence this reinnervation process.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurophysiology

    Context:

    • Peripheral facial palsy affects mimic muscles.
    • Investigating cross-nerve reinnervation is crucial for treatment strategies.

    Purpose:

    • To explore contralateral reinnervation in facial palsy patients.
    • To determine factors influencing cross-nerve fiber growth.

    Summary:

    • Neurological and EMG studies on 17 peripheral facial palsy patients.
    • Eight patients showed double reinnervation (ipsilateral and contralateral).
    • Age, duration, severity, and onset type did not correlate with contralateral reinnervation.

    Impact:

    • Challenges existing theories on facial nerve regeneration.
    • Suggests potential for novel therapeutic approaches in facial palsy.
    • Highlights the adaptability of facial nerve pathways.
