Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Unilateral peripheral facial nerve palsy may have a detectable cause (secondary facial nerve palsy) or may be idiopathic (primary) without an obvious cause (Bell’s palsy). Peripheral facial nerve palsy is diagnosed upon the clinical presentation with weakness of all facial nerve branches, drooping of the brow, incomplete lid closure, drooping of the corner of the mouth, impaired closure of the mouth, dry eye, hyperacusis, impaired taste, or pain around the ear. The aim of our research was to assess the effect of physical therapy treatment and sequelae after palsy. We have made retrospective analyze of 10 patients for sequels, after 1-3 years of palsy and physical therapy treatment with House Brackmann facial nerve grading system. Results: the scale is showing III grade of deficit after palsy. Therapy, particularly of Bell’s palsy, is controversial due to the lack of large, prospective, randomized, and controlled trials. In our medical system patients are treated with physical therapy. House Brackmann facial nerve grading system can be used like a protocol system for evaluation of treatment in patients with facial palsy. Keywords: facial palsy,physical therapy, sequels.
