Platysma Motor Nerve Transfer for Restoring Marginal Mandibular Nerve Function
BACKGROUND Injuries of the marginal mandibular nerve (MMN) of the facial nerve result in paralysis of the lower lip muscle depressors and an asymmetrical smile. Nerve reconstruction, when possible, is the method of choice; however, in cases of long nerve gaps or delayed nerve reconstruction, conventional nerve repairs may be difficult to perform or may provide suboptimal outcomes. Herein, we in...
متن کاملCentral Mandibular Nerve Sheath Myxoma
Nerve sheath myxoma has been described as a rare neural tumor arising from Schwann cells. It is observed most frequently in the central area of the face, neck and upper extremities. In the past the term neurothekeoma was used as synonym for nerve sheath myxoma but according to new reports, they are separate entities which can be confirmed by immunohistochemistry as in our case. Oral involvement...
متن کاملVariant Anterior Digastric Muscle Transfer for Marginal Mandibular Branch of Facial Nerve Palsy
SUMMARY Marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve (MMBFN) palsy is a common consequence of head and neck surgeries. MMBFN palsy results in paralysis of muscles which depress the inferior lip. Current management of MMBFN palsy involves ruination of normal neuromuscular anatomy and physiology to restore symmetry to the mouth. The article outlines the possibility to transfer variant anterior diga...
متن کاملSurgical and conservative methods for restoring impaired motor function - facial nerve, spinal accessory nerve, hypoglossal nerve (not including vagal nerve or swallowing).
The present review gives a survey of rehabilitative measures for disorders of the motor function of the mimetic muscles (facial nerve), and muscles innervated by the spinal accessory and hypoglossal nerves. The dysfunction can present either as paralysis or hyperkinesis (hyperkinesia). Conservative and surgical treatment options aimed at restoring normal motor function and correcting the moveme...
متن کاملMarginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve in human fetuses.
OBJECTIVE To observe the course of the marginal mandibular branch (MMB) and its relation to the inferior border of the mandible and facial vessels. METHODS This study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Gulhane Military Medical Academy, Etlik, Ankara, Turkey from February 2009 to April 2010. The 44 hemi-face specimens of 22 fetuses were selected for this study, and dissected under a s...
