Synkinesis developed after peripheral facial paralysis: An electrophysiological study

Synkinesis of Facial Musculature in a Patient with Facial Paralysis

Facial Synkinesis is a clinical condition that is the sequel to facial nerve paralysis which develops during nerve repair like axon myelination and regeneration. Involuntary muscle activity is accompanied by voluntary muscle activity and may involve facial and extra ocular muscles. This article describes an uncommon variation of facial Synkinesis that manifested clinically in weak voluntary che...

Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis: an electrophysiological study.

An electrophysiological study was carried out on four patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. Whereas neurogenic involvement of the paralysed hemidiaphragm was roughly similar in all cases, neurogenic patterns could be detected in the normally moving contralateral hemidiaphragm in three cases, and the degree of involvement could be correlated with the respiratory state of the patients...
