Two different forms of mumps-associated facial palsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peripheral facial nerve paralysis is relatively common in the pediatric age group. Infectious agents convincingly associated with acute facial palsy include varicella-zoster virus, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein–Barr virus, rubella virus, and more recently, human immunodeficiency virus. However, facial palsy has rarely been documented in patients with mumps virus infection. Facial palsy caused bymumps infection is believed to exist in two distinct forms, one representing an initial infection withmumps parotitis and another representing a reinfection without parotitis. We recently saw the two different forms of mumps-associated facial palsy with and without parotitis. 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملRadiation Exposure and Bell’s Palsy: A Hypothetical Association
Bell’s palsy is an idiopathic peripheral nerve palsy involving the facial nerve. It accounts for 60 to 75% of all cases of unilateral facial paralysis. The main mechanisms to induce BP remain unclear, but infection, ischemic condition and immunodeficiency may contribute to the development of Bell’s palsy. Accumulating evidence has shown several factors can trigger the reactivation of latent...

Purpose: Electrotherapy is a common intervention for the rehabilitation of Bell’s palsy. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and electrical stimulation (ES) are two therapeutic interventions for Bell’s palsy that have been proven to be superior to conventional treatments.

Abstract Background: Rehabilitation of facial paralysis is one of the greatest challenges faced by reconstructive surgeons today. The traditional method for treatment of patients with facial palsy is the two-stage free gracilis flap which has a long latency period of between the two stages of surgery. Methods: In this paper, we prospectively compared the results of the one-stage gracilis flap ...
