Postoperative nasal forms after presurgical nasoalveolar molding followed by medial-upward advancement of nasolabial components with vestibular expansion for children with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The management for primary unilateral cleft lip nose deformities has not yet been established. In this study, short-term postoperative nasal forms after presurgical nasoalveolar molding (NAM) followed by primary lip repair for children with ... Read more...

Utility of intraoperative electromyography in microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm: a meta-analysis.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: In this paper, the authors' goal was to determine the utility of monitoring the abnormal muscle response (AMR) or "lateral spread" during microvascular decompression surgery for hemifacial spasm. METHODS: The authors' experience with AMR as ... Read more...

Mouth movement disturbance as a sequela of bilateral Bell's palsy.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Bell's palsy rarely recurs or arises bilaterally. We describe unique oral motor sequelae that manifest with bilateral facial palsy. PATIENTS: Two rare patients with alternating bilateral Bell's palsy experienced compromised mouth ... Read more...
