The Study of Facial Nerve Palsy Cause and Managements
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Background- Facial Nerve Paralysis is a common clinical condition encountered by otorhinolaryngologist. Much of the nerve’s susceptibility to paralysis can be attributed to its anatomical factors. Methods-50 cases with facial paralysis due to various causes were selected for the study. In each of these cases, a detailed clinical history was elicited and physical examination was carried out as per the proforma of the study. Investigations like routine blood, urine examination, x-ray studies were done in the hospital. In some relevant cases, further investigations like, CT-scan and other specific tests were done depending on individual basis. Results- In our study 29(58%) patients were having idiopathic facial palsy, where exact cause of facial palsy was not known. 10(20%) patients were having palsy due to chronic suppurative otitis media and 12% of patients were having temporal bone trauma. 4% patients were having tumours and 6% had history of surgery. Conclusion-The most common cause of facial palsy was idiopathic followed by chronic suppurative otitis media. Management involves both medical and surgical treatment.
