Facial Nerve Paralysis Treatment and Research

Background and Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to elucidate the diagnostic significance of systemic inflammatory indices and C1q/TNF-related proteins (CTRP3 and CTRP5) in acute facial paralysis, with a focus on identifying independent metabolic and immunological predictors. Materials and Methods: T…

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the morphometric dimensions of the middle ear cleft in otosclerosis patients using highresolution computed tomography (HRCT). Specifically, we sought to classify sinus tympani (ST) configurations according to the Marchioni system and analyze whether a significant anatomical correlati…

BACKGROUND: Pediatric temporal bone fractures may lead to facial paralysis, hearing loss, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. Understanding their clinical and radiologic characteristics is essential for effective management. METHODS: This retrospective, single-center descriptive study included 50 pediatric patients…

Amaç: Diyabet hastalarında, diyabetik ilaçların dikkat eksikliğine bağlı uygunsuz kullanımı glisemik kontrol dengesizliklerine yol açarak beyin ve diğer organlara geri dönüşü olmayan zararlar verebileceğinden, hastalarda dikkat kontrolü çok önemlidir. Bu istenmeyen sonucu önlemek için hastaların dikkat düzeylerindeki…

IntroductionBell's palsy (BP) is the most common cause of lower motor neuron facial palsy, accounting for about 70% of cases of unilaterally facial nerve paralysis 1 .The incidence of this condition ranges between 11.5 to 53.3 cases per 100,000 individuals 2 .Approximately 30% of patients with Bell's palsy may experie…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate ARFI elastography as a diagnostic and monitoring tool in Bell's palsy by comparing affected and unaffected facial muscles, pre- and post-treatment. METHODS: Thirty patients with Bell's palsy (17 females and 13 males, mean age 44.6 ± 16.76, range:18-72 years) were assessed using Clinical (House-B…

BACKGROUND: The mandibular septum is not a well-defined anatomical structure and mostly known as a ligamentous formation which separates the jowl and submandibular fat compartments. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the anatomical relationships between the mandibular septum(MS), the platysma-mandibular ligam…

OBJECTIVE: Bell's palsy is the most common form of acute peripheral facial palsy; however, its etiology remains unclear. Environmental and seasonal factors have been suggested as potential triggers, but previous studies have reported conflicting results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term temporal and…

AMAÇ: Tiroid ve paratiroid cerrahileri endokrin cerrahide sıklıkla uygulanmaktadır. Bu girişimlerde Rekürren Laringeal Sinir (RLS) hasarına bağlı vokal kord paralizisi (VKP) önemli bir komplikasyondur. Bu çalışmada malignite nedeniyle total tiroidektomi ve lobektomi-paratiroidektomi sonrası RLS hasarı gelişen hastalar…

Dermatochalasis is characterized by age-related loss of upper eyelid skin elasticity leading to excess folds. The aim of our study is to discuss the possible neurogenic mechanisms of temporary and unilateral lagophthalmos developing after upper blepharoplasty performed only with skin excision in a case presenting with…
