Facial Nerve Diseases - Physiopathology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Facial Nerve Diseases'Diseases of the facial nerve or nuclei. Pontine disorders may affect the facial nuclei or nerve fascicle. The nerve may be involved intracranially, along its course through the petrous portion of the temporal bone, or along its extracranial course. Clinical manifestations include facial muscle weakness, loss of taste from the anterior tongue, hyperacusis, and decreased lacrimation.

Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma: clinician beware.
30 Jul 2009 
Intraparotid facial nerve schwannomas are rare neoplasms that are challenging to diagnose and manage. Many patients present with a painless, palpable facial mass. The presence of facial paralysis is variable. Imaging studies and fine-needle ... Read more...
30 May 2009 CONCLUSION: In this study, we concluded that electrode design and location did not have a high level of influence on the prevalence of facial nerve stimulation (FNS) in normal cochleae. OBJECTIVE: To analysis the prevalence of FNS after cochlear ... Read more...
4 May 2009 The basal forebrain cholinergic system has been implicated in the reorganization of adult cortical sensory and motor representations under many, but not all, experimental conditions. It is still not fully understood which types of plasticity require ... Read more...
