[Contribution to facial spasm (author's transl)]

B Bohnert, M Stöhr

    Archiv Fur Psychiatrie Und Nervenkrankheiten
    |September 14, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study investigates facial spasm, proposing chronic nerve fiber damage causes abnormal signaling (ephaptic transfer) leading to spasms. It explores potential causes and treatment options for this neurological condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurophysiology

    Context:

    • Presents clinical, electromyographic, neurographic, and nystagmographic findings in 20 facial spasm cases.
    • Examines the syndrome's relation to facial nerve parabiosis and the ephapse theory.

    Purpose:

    • To discuss the pathogenesis of facial spasm, focusing on ephaptic transmission.
    • To explore potential etiologic factors and therapeutic interventions for facial spasm.

    Summary:

    • Reports on 20 cases of facial spasm, analyzing clinical and electrophysiological data.
    • Postulates chronic, subclinical axonal impairments leading to ephaptic transfer as the underlying mechanism.
    • Discusses the localization of facial nerve lesions and etiological factors contributing to parabiotic changes.

    Impact:

    • Contributes to understanding the pathophysiology of facial spasm.
    • Informs potential therapeutic strategies for managing facial nerve disorders.
    • Highlights the role of ephaptic transmission in neurological conditions affecting cranial nerves.
